Wowzers! What a day! I poked seeds in 10 more trays today! My tray count is up to 28, I'm running out of space for trays! I'd say that the greenhouse is closer, but.....we had a busy day for visitors today. But, I wouldn't trade a day of progress for a day of visitors. Life …

According to the packet, the CFMN will be ready by May 20th.....the garden might just be ready to start planting by then, certainly not established by then....
