That's awesome. I did my garden this year kinda on a whim but i am looking forward to a fall/winter garden next year

They look like my starts on the deck.

And in a couple of months they'll be spectacular in the beds!

I've been very slow to start my spring summer gardens the past few years cause I've been expecting harsher watering restrictions.

They look like my starts on the deck.

Have you checked to make sure they are still there?

 

[Bugseye]

Hmmm, are you suggesting you are looking for a few more starts? I'll have to send out the guard kitty cats.

I was suggesting that maybe they were your starts. Do you use a soil blocker?

 

[Bugseye]

Oh, I see. As far as I know, they are mine. But I don't know what a soil blocker is. Help?

You had said they looked like your starts so I though you had used a soil blocker, since I did. A soil blocker is a device use to compress damp soil to plant seeds in. No pot, just soil. The 2" & mini blocker are pretty cool, the 4" is way too pricey.

 

[Bugseye]

Huh! That's a new one on me. I think I'll stick with the little start pots. I've got what I want in that line, and it works. Moving seedlings from one block to the next larger one holds no appeal, and I don't usually have problems with roots. Soil blockers, huh. Do you use them?
