Removed the mulch layer from the garlic, side dressed with kelp meal and some EWC.
The rest of the beds got hit with some lime, biolive dry amendment, and EWC. I still need to prep out one of the 2x30 beds with the Hügelkultur method but still have weeks before the weather will warm up with to plant in that bed. I'm just happy to be out working in the soil again!

I moved about a dozen cups with small plants outside, and cupped up a like amount of sprouts to go inside under the lights. I put the rest of the sprouts in small pots. Peppers and tomatoes.
I lost a few of the last sprouts, but what the sun didn't kill the first couple of three days seems to be doing better. I did up pot two tomatoes that the wind had blown over, but most of these will go right from the cup to their finial destination.

Day before yesterday I transplanted Jalapenos into where the cukes were last year. I took down the posts and fencing so I could disc it. Briars are going crazy where I have the sunk swimming pools. (in hindsight, I wouldn't have grown in the pools if I had known how hard it was going to be to keep them clean)
Yesterday I transplanted spaghettis squash and Arminian cukes into the new garden behind the house. (in the edge of where the longleaf's were) I got involved in taking cat pictures and didn't actually get a picture of them in the ground. The acorn and butternut only have a couple of sprouts between them. Might have to replant those.

Yup, treat it just like you would your ganja seedlings. At this stage, with a few exceptions a plant is a plant and I treat them all the same.

Today and tomorrow are good above ground planting days. In the new sandhill garden I planted 3 rows of sweet corn, 3 rows of my crossed flint/sweet corn, 3 rows of blue lake green beans. Also Charleston Grey, Crimson Sweet and some saved seed yellow meat melons. And acorn and butternut squash.
Tomorrow I'm going to plant some of the flint corn down at the riverhouse. I picked out a dozen of the best ears, and I'm putting only those down there so it won't get crossed up.
I found more saved seed Mammoth Jalapeno, so I'm going to plant some of them too. I bought two MP plants at Walmart today. Four bucks each, so I really want those seeds to pop. Also need to plant okra at the sandhill garden. I'm sure there is more that I'm not thinking of now.

I got everything planted but the flint indian corn. After getting all my plots ready, I could not find the seeds. I was 100% sure they were at the riverhouse. But I looked through my 2 trash bags of seeds in the freezer here on the sandhill, and all the odd places where I might have laid them down. This morning I was doing a little pre cleaning lady cleaning, and guess what I found on the dining table. My flint seeds. Good above ground days coming up this weekend, so I'll plant them then.

Last year Sister brought us a couple three gallons of grapes from her old man's place in the south end of the county. We used most of them, but there were a few that got too old. I put them in the freezer to save for planting. I washed them, removed the peels, and got them planted in a tray and pot. Almost all the grapes vines I transplanted at the sandhill look like they are going to live, but if there are any weak looking ones, I'll have plenty to replace them.
