I love bullhead with a sweet cornbread breading mmmmmmm followed up with rhubarb crisp for dessert......

that looks pretty neat @duluthralphie I will have to remember to check out @Blooie 's thread on it if I should ever brood chicks again. I like the concept.

Well if your dogs were pups without their full round of shots then there's risk.

Not sure we're having supper. Lazy day full of snacks and such. Nobody is hungry.

I should think about seed starting around here soon. I have had zero luck with tomatoes and peppers for the last 2 seasons. I just must not be doing it right. I need to start sooner to have bigger plants. I bought a L&M green house last year so maybe I can harden them off better. I don't really know. I am no green thumb by any means.

Quite a let down here...

From mouth watering crab legs at the casino, to rubbery pizza from Dominos. sigh

I start plants fine but the hardening off process is what is hard for me to get right. No good at it.

how do you start them? do you use any supplemental heat or light?

yep, it can be boom or bust! last year i actually lost most of my tomatoes because it was too sunny when i planted them and they scorched! lesson learned on that one the hard way. I ended up having to go to the greenhouse and buy all new plants

I put them in a seed tray in individual pods on my dining room table in front of the patio door/window. To harden off I put them out side during the good sunny days for a week or two then try to transplant. All shrivel up and die. They are not very big though. Maybe a month of growth in all. I am shooting for actual plants to transplant this year instead of the smaller things I get. So I will need many months of growth for that I am thinking. We plan for the first week of June to get in the soils around here. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later.
