There was a chilly north wind this morning, but our intrepid team successfully transplanted tomato and eggplant bare-root seedlings into larger pots, getting them ready for our upcoming summer-season plantings. Larry has been nurturing these seedlings for us and will now steward their continued growth in new pots until we are ready to plant them later this spring. Due to some possible intrusion by invasive Japanese stilt grass seeds, each plant was carefully washed before transplanting.

Given the much needed rainfall last night, there was no need to do the extra watering we have been doing recently, so a lot of progress was made on the weeding and mulching front. Also, our first flower has popped out on our crimson clover, foreshadowing a beautful sea of red flowers to come!
