And I had to start a new tray of broccoli. The others just drooped over and didn’t get back up. I think they got dried out by the light and then I threw too much water on them. At any rate, there’s a new batch brewing. Everything else is growing fine though.
The only things not up now are Rosemary and Green Peppers.
Not much happened in the yard yesterday because of rain except afterwards I started removing sod from the new garden.
I left a strip of un-removed sod to pile all the clumps on to dry out. Then I'll shake the dirt off each one into the prepared areas and compost the grass.
Matt has bursitis in his knee so he won’t be doing any digging any time soon. That’s ok because I like being out there by myself and enjoying the outdoors again in peaceful quiet. He needs to take it easy and heal. Today it’s supposed to rain later on in the evening and things are still pretty wet so I don’t know how much if anything is going to get done.
This is our new gadget that’s right outside the patio doors. It shows the weather, time, temp (plus highs and lows of the day), humidity, and moon phase. Handy. I'm gonna start using this as my weather source instead of the Weather Channel Desktop, although that's handy too.
Lastly, I’ve shuffled all our faves on Blotanical. So if you noticed you moved on our list, it’s not that we don’t love you anymore. It’s to spread exposure around.
High: 52 Low: 29, cloudy/supposed to rain; Lunar Phase: Waxing Gibbous, 64% of full.

I also wish this drizzling little rain would end. I want to plant peas tomorrow.
On your broccoli, it could be a problem with "damping off" which affects young seedlings, causing them to keel over and die. The best way to prevent it is use clean flats and uncover the seedlings as soon as they germinate.
I love the techno weather gadget. I want one. Did y'all dump me? Tell me the truth:)
Carol,
I hope you get to plant your peas. We need a good solid day of sunshine here.
Thanks for the heads up about damping off. I'll keep an eye out for that.
Aunt Deb,
You crack me up!
We got that weather thing for Christmas as a gift and just now set it up, so I don't know where it came from. If I find out, I'll let you know.
Thanks ladies! -Jen :)
The hardest part of indoor growing is making sure the seedlings don't dry out. I check mine morning and evening. It is time consuming to nurture seedlings, but so worth it. I hope you next batch thrives.
Thanks Robin! -Jen :)
