Hi everyone, I planted four types of tomatoes,! Going to plant something else tonight and get the grow lights up.

Funny to be quoting myself But just an update. DD#2 who has a part time gig working for Sherlock Holmes, told me that this weed is a KALANCHOE.
a GOOGLE SEARCH pops up a gazillion varieties. No wonder BOTANY needs to use a language very few use, to classify their plants

Give my thanks to DD#2. It is nice to give my new plant a name. My mom has one also and will be happy to know what it is. Mine has orange flowers and is blooming again - it bloomed in November (when I bought it).

My tomatoes are sprouted, over 20 as of yesterday! Last night I planted lettuce, a whole tray of it. Guess I am craving salad.

of course, no use in wasting them but have a month here yet at least, might be able to enjoy them here, have carrots started too but if they're not big enough, might leave them

If the carrots are small enough, they can be transplanted. It is not something normally done but it can be done. I learned this from accidentally pulling small carrot seedlings and replanting them. They did fine.

If they are too big, it can cause too much root damage.

i might try, like you say, if small enough, right now only about 2"inches tall. i got the seeds cheap enough, 20 cents a packet at walmarts and bought ten packs just to see if they were good, yep, i have alot more carrot seeds i bought from pinetree seeds and also from territorial seeds, have all my seeds ready to plant when the weather breaks in pa and we go back

I get most of my carrot seeds from Johnny's Selected Seeds because they have a good selection of carrots that are not orange.
