>(about 20 of those 600 are now in the ground, here in DRY >and relatively warm Virginia). Here in the FINALLY dry mid-west we have a 5-day forecast that, for once, doesn't include rain! So... I'll be taking a day off from work tomorrow to put 30 plants in one raised bed, and 4 more in 5 gallon buckets. 11 different varieties in all. They are getting root bound in the 3 inch Jiffy Pots, and the pots are starting to fall apart from the increased watering, with mold starting to form on the pots (those parts will be torn off/discarded prior to planting) so ready or not, outside they go. They didn't get as hardened off as I would like, so I will have shade net up for the first week or two. On a somewhat-less-than-tragic note, I found the first aphids of the season on my seedlings indoors. They were only on a couple of my 50+ plants, so I picked/sprayed them off. This is the first time I have seen aphids around, but if they persist I will whip up a batch of chile-garlic-dish-soapy water and continue the attack outdoors. Scott... won't be using Jiffy Pots next year... KCK
