Happy Easter Everyone! Today, I planted 3 castor beans and 8 Jimson weed seeds in 3" square pots. Put them under grows light on a heat mat. I hope they can sprout. The seeds are from 2017. I have been on furlough since the 23rd of March and will not be going back to work till after the 30th of April.

This morning I planted three tomato seeds: 4.73 Reinhard 15, 5.58 Porkchop 15, and the 4.86 Hill 15. Also, planted more Jimson weed seeds. The soil I had used before was too heavy and only the castor beans had spouted with the third one spouting today. Had to help them by gently moving the soil a little bit away from them because they were stuck in the soil trying to spout.

Happy 31st Birthday to me!
This morning I had to plant more tomato seeds, because the soil in the pots was molding on the surface and 5.85 Porkchop had dried up and died. I also, throw out the Jimson Weed pot because it molded on the surface of the soil and never sprouted. So, I am sprouted 4 seeds from the 5.44 Young 15 and 4 from the 3.83 Young 19 using tips from Marv.

I am behind on the 5 gallon tomato challenge due to dealing with blossom end rot. I have recently been adding more calcium and the rotting has stopped showing up so far.
