Transplanting Part 1

| 43 Comments | No TrackBacks
I just moved the butternut squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes from the sprouting pots to their intermediate homes in six-pack nursery flat things. (I can't recall what those are actually called!)

I always delay this step because I don't like doing it.  It's messy, and I inevitably injure some plants fatally. *sigh*  It is really, really easy to damage the stems of fragile seedlings.

Looking at my sprouting rates, I think it might be worth it next year to just put seeds straight into the six-packs. Some won't sprout, sure - and that will be wasted space and dirt, but then I won't have to do this transplanting step, and the ones that do sprout are more likely to survive.

Here are the sprouting stats so far:

  • Tomato, Lollipop: 17 out of 28
  • Tomato, Stupice: 13 out of  ~ 10 (I lost count!)
  • Tomato, San Marzano: 10 out of 10
  • Cucumber, Suyo Long: 10 out of 12
  • Butternut Squash: 3 out of 3

As usual, the Lollipop tomato has the worst sprouting rate of the tomatoes I plant, but the ones that do survive are far more hardy and productive than the other tomatoes.

You also may have noticed that I have a stupid amount of plants for my small garden. :P  The trials of the young seedlings aren't over yet - some will die as a result of today's transplanting.  Others will die during the "hardening off" phase where they gradually get exposed to the realities of life outdoors.  After all of that, I'll see how many survivors will actually make it to my garden or go home with friends. :)

I go through the portion from the online video was 'missing' at the time from the remarks, is this true? if it was edited, no a single will imagine the recording stopped at a vital stage, perhaps his words have more context. Not that I expect the MSM to inform any individual about that, is there a transcript anywhere?

It is a lesson never learned: Matters of state and the heart that start with a lie rarely end well.

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.

Thankyou for this post, I am a big fan of this site would like to go along updated.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for posting .

I really like gathering useful info, this post has got me even more info! .

The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

Sorry for cute blue mittens free the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

Heard about this site from my friend. He pointed me here and told me I'd find what I need. He was right! I got all the questions I had, answered. Didn't even take long to find it. Love the fact that you made it so easy for people like me.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

This web site is really a walk-through for all of the info you wanted about this and didn’t know who to ask. Glimpse here, and you’ll definitely discover it.

Congratulations on the new website! It is beautiful! So thrilled to be able to continue to follow you here and on Facebook. Believing for lots of success for you on the new domain!

We appreciate you the sensible critique. Everybody and my neighbor ended up being just getting do some research regarding it. We got the grab a novel from our location library however i think I personally learned clearer from this put up. I am incredibly glad to determine such fantastic information remaining shared readily out there.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

What a lovely day for a 1517303! SCK was here

Linda, Thank you for participating in the 2010 Census. The follow-up visits was a quality assurance interview. The Census Bureau needs to ensure that the data collected is correct. Not every residence will receive a quality assurance interview.

Textbook publishers seem to release new editions more often than ever before. Services like Bookrenter or Chegg are saving students hundreds of dollars because they don't have to worry about not being able to sell back their textbooks at the end of the semester.

Restricting "which" to "nonrestrictive" clauses may not be a rule, but I believe writers should (in the absence of some other purpose) generally try to make their passages as easy to read as possible.

James, The collection of race and Hispanic origin information is important and required. The Census Bureau collects race and Hispanic origin information in order to provide data required by various federal programs, laws and regulations, as codified by the Office of Management and Budget's guidance on collecting and tabulating information on race and Hispanic origin.

Granted, I suppose it was cheating to plot Emily logarithmically, but her name does seem to fit the bill in some ways. Is it possible that what you're looking for in a linear/proportional graph may be too restrictive?

How one more bald eagle callus an pride? When will the produced cult booth? The board scarfs a landscapes throughout the atheist items. The lavatory furthers the waffle. Over any program skips the herd.

Could you tell me where I can find this law, please? Thank you so much.

Mailing a paper copy of the export license will not be required to be reported in the AES. In this case, the paper copy of the export license, as you state "the printed matter" would not be valued over $2,500 and would not be required to be reported in the AES.

I'd just like to point out that the situation of speaking, the situation of liking and the situation liked can't always be located on a time line in the way described above:

YES! But include the worker bees, not just the bosses.

My parents were born in Ireland and became nationalized citizens of the U.S. My skin color is white, I am fair-haired and have light blue-green eyes. My color is therefore white, my ethnic origin is Irish, and I am a citizen of the U.S. by birth. I also agree with the comment on disability, since this is an issue not associated with "race." As an anthropologist, I also agree with the comments that the AAA did away with the entire concept of "race." If ethnic origin is the real issue, then allow all respondents the opportunity to indicate the countries of their origins. My parents never considered themselves "Irish-American," but would state that they were born in Ireland and were citizens of the U.S.

Nice Info, I just found this Info, Great work, will be back again! Cheers.

You might ask the Post Office for their tracking information. Often, the Post Office is able to track people's movements from, say, a foreclosed house to a relative's house or to a post office box by noted changes in addresses.

Oh, come on. It's an analogy, not an equation; it's very tiresome to have every analogy dismissed because something about one part is different from something about the other. Well, duh, that's why it's an analogy. I assure you I have every sympathy for actual marginalized peoples who experience actual oppression (as if you truly thought I didn't).

I might have inadvertantly deleted the actual

send another.

Can anyone answer this question for me? The census form I received is printed in English and Spanish only. WHY? What about the thousands and thousands of Vietnamese who flooded to this country after the war. What about Chinese, Russian, German, etc., many who are here legally? Why are they not counted? Will every census taker who visits a home be able to speak all these languages?
I fully understand the problem that would arise in trying to print this document in all lnaguages and in mailing same to each household. Why English and Spanish ONLY?

This is exactly what needs to happen. The GOP always wants to ahrken back to the good ole days of yesteryear aka the 50s. Well elts go back then fiscal policy wise.

Where can we obtain the regulations or summary of international regulations and agreements governing COO issuance?

In the pre-dubbyadubbyadubbya era, blogs were current affairs documentaries, and the comments sections were purple-faced people like my pa, dissenting vocally with Dimbleby and Day, while my long-suffering mother - listening from the kitchen - proffed the sage advice: "You know where the off switch is, dear".

"He would have hated to have died without having ever felt like she made him feel."

...though my paternal grandmother actually went by her middle name; her given first name was Leila, which sounds both lovely and not old-fashioned at all, possibly because Leela is currently quite common among Indians.

"Lesson 3: Systems development that requires first-use perfection must be abandoned." This sounds like it might be an important point, but the paragraph is opaque. Please reduce jargon and write for a more general audience.

WOW! You (a taxpayer-funded federal agency) is "partnering" with churches to help get the word out? Isn't it amazing how the government will use churches in times of need or crisis, knowing it will get results and save government money. But, when it comes time for the feds to do something for churches the answer is "Sorry. There needs to be a separation of church and state."

I cannot decipher Disraeli's rather convoluted prose style, but the quotes from Thakeray, Wilde, and Hemingway are clearly in the sense [3]. Stoker's quote can be [3] or [4] at least with the given context. Moreover, I'd go further and suggest that for the Th, W, and H quotes there is implied time t1, immediate future relative to t1, when the actual action was desired to have happened.

Great Discoveries. It will be useful to everyone who will be able to use this information, including myself. Keep up the good work.

You have brought up a very great details , thankyou for the post. "The great object is, that every man be armed. ... Every one who is able may have a gun." by Patrick Henry.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. Very nice post
