From Busy to Busier.

It might not sound exciting to want to be busier. But it's not the busy I'm looking forward to, it's the "type" of busy. In the winter while working full time and going to school I'm plenty busy. However, As the days start getting longer and warmer My brain starts to rev up, and I start envisioning yard and garden ideas. This year has been no exception. Yet again I am going to expand our garden. I'm building the bees a new little beeyard. I am also adding a Hoophouse greenhouse. On top of those things I will be adding a chicken coop and yard run. In addition, me and my T will be planning our wedding and getting the wedding and reception area all ready for that.

As a build up for all this I began a couple months ago getting all my garden seeds ordered. And two weeks ago I started a bunch of Them below I will show some pictures of my seedlings and seedling system. But first here is a list of my early seedlings:

These are the Peat Pellets I use for seedlings These are bigger ones usually for tomatoes, but I use them for everything.

First one is dry pellets. Then Rehydrated and then my labeling system so I don't lose track of plants. These are stick pins with numbers that correspond to a Word document I have saved.
