We elected to not garden this winter because our previous winter and spring gardens had produced so
much we still have a freezer and jars full. Making headway on eating it up but still have a lot.
Green Comet broccoli, last winter, made so much that we put up 40 packages of the stuff and gave
away a lot too. All of it from only 12 plants. Miz Anne is prone to buy lots of starts for the coles
as I usually don't start them from seed.
I'll be starting tomatoes, chiles, eggplant, etc. this weekend. Got the 4 inch pots soaking now in a
bleach solution. Had to go buy some new lamps for the starting setup yesterday as I raided the
lights to get replacements for the rest of the house.
