On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

The equipment for my seed growing stations have been dug out of the basement and shed.  I'm ready to go!

The kitchen table was pushed against the wall as growing station #1.

A shelving unit was set up in front of the slider as growing station #2. 

Two shelving units were set up in the bay window as growing station #3. 

In addition, I've completed the following chores:

• All pots and trays have been sanitized. 

• Three bags of seed starting mix have been purchased.  Metromix 830, 2.8cf each (79 liters). Contains 60-80% Canadian Spaghum peat moss, composted bark, vermiculite, coarse perlite, starter nutrient charge with gypsum and slow release nitrogren, dolomitic limestone and a wetting agent.

• Databases and germination/planting schedules have been updated.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas): Stop & Shop, 2015. Slips have been started on the wood stove mantel.  I had a
meager harvest two years ago; I hope to do better this year.  I plant to start twenty slips indoors, move them into the
hoophouse in May and then plant out in a raised bed the first week of June. 

The temperature above the mantel is over 80 degrees!
