No job offers but I've got some seeds started!

I started 2 trays of seeds last week. I have those big ones with 98 cells each. So far sprouting is: spinach, cabbage and 3 types of lettuces and a mustard-y greens! Waiting for the lavender, Thai hot peppers, jalapenos 2 types of sweet peppers, 2 types of eggplants, muskmelon, 3 types of tomatoes, arugula, onions, leeks, and purple tomatillos to come up next. Lots more to go: cucumbers, Japanese yams, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, green beans, herbs and MORE! I want to grow TOO MUCH food for my Schatzi and me, so we can have good food all winter AND give lots to a local food pantry! I hope you will too?

A farmer friend gave me a huge baggie of all sorts of seeds. So nice, I'm sharing wtih neighbors, too. I have loads of old seeds that might not germinate so one tray is an test. I made my own seed starting mix and it seems to be doing well for most seeds so far. I'm too excited about this year. It's our first year in this house and the yard was horribly overgrown when we moved in last autumn. This is the first Spring putting in the garden beds. We have deer, chipmunks, hawks, mice, ticks galore(yuck), squirrels, 3 acres of woods, song birds, AND no fencing!!! But we have two cats that love to hunt, bless 'em. I want ducks and bees. It's an experiment alright.
