Farm journal 2009 11-18, Planting More Trays
High 82.5 Low 55.9 Rain 0
Morning: Patrolled the peppers, tomatoes and eggplants for worms. The infestation was reduced, but there were a few. I'm sure they are dying after all that spray. Of course, the plants that were severely attacked aren't looking any better.
Prepared and planted 3 trays:
Carrot tray 105 pellets: 21 each of 3 carrot, 1 celery, 1 parsley
Herb tray 105 pellets: 21 each of lovage, trailing nasturtiums, jewel nasturtiums, golden amarynth, tigerleaf amarynth
P tray 112 pellets: 35 mammoth melting peas, 35 sugar snap peas, 42 potato.
The potatoes are a new crop, but the others are replacements.
I made another 32 cell peat strip tray of voodoo sedum transplants, 5 seedlings per cell.
Started soaking the moringa and papaya seed. These will be germinated in a plastic bag.
Afternoon: Went to
Post office: my back order dusty miller cirrus was there. I need to plant 2 trays of it.
Doctor's office: had a nerve test.
Home Depot: bought 2 more shelving units, more caterpillar killer, another hose (about $76)
Walmart: Food + 3 pounds of salmon for day after Thanksgiving dinner with my brothers and father.
After we returned, I picked snake gourds and greens for dinner. On the lanai, patrolled again for worms, and sprayed again. Watered.
