Day 46: After a good watering with some Shultz concentrate mixed into the water everything picked up nicely. I bought my tomatoe plants yesterday. Everything is set to go. Weather keeps changing but it's looking like Wednesday to go outside finally. After that the temperature will keep rising.
Day 45: Had a bit of a scare this morning. Cell trays are practical when you're doing 120 plants but it gets crowded and easy to miss something. They were wilting this morning. I'm always self conscious about over watering but in this case they were bone dry.
I clipped the seed leaves and extra wilted leaves and gave them a good watering. They'll survive as usual but one thing I've noticed through the years having them all bunched up in cell trays is that they start their proper cycle only when they go in the ground which is why I always like to go outside as soon as possible. Having arrived at day 45 now I'm waiting day to day for the perfect time to go outside. There's a few cold nights coming up and I'll probably take them outside this weekend or early next week. There comes a time around week 6 where the cell trays are no longer a viable home. I did start a new batch of Bosikappal seeds in my moment of panic...I'll go ahead and do a second planting at the end of June. I'll review my process for next year and will ditch these small cell trays and get bigger ones. I also want to experiment with sowing directly in the ground like our ancestors did. To be continued...
I'm completely out of Burley and don't plan to order raw leaf for at least a year or more. I've been looking at this pouch for a long time and decided to grab a bunch when I was doing my wife's vape order.
