Another Busy Day

I accomplished a few more chores today:
  • Watered all indoor and outdoor seedlings. Whew!  It was a chore, indeed!
  • Transplanted the remaining peppers and tomatoes that had doubles in containers.
  • Transplanted six basil from two clay pots. 
  • Blew off compost that had spilled on the deck yesterday while filling herb containers. 
  • Set up umbrellas on deck and cement patio. 
  • Measured wood for beds around greenhouse.
I also sowed the following flower seeds: 

Nasturtium, Empress of India - Livingston, 2014, planted in 8"x12" metal tray. 
Nasturtium, Gleam Mix - Livingston, 2014, planted in 8"x12" metal tray. 
Cosmos, Bright Lights - Livingston, 2014, planted in 8"x12" metal tray. 
Cosmos, Sensation Mixture - Livingston, 2014, planted in 8"x12" metal tray. 
Marigold, Queen Sophia - Livingston, 2014, planted in 8"x12" metal tray. 

The front perennial bed and area around the fruit trees had another good raking.  Gathered a considerable amount of twigs, branches and leaves.

The three Amana Orange tomatoes in one container were very stunted so I chose to throw them away.

I am using the electric fan more faithfully over the tomatoes and peppers, two if not three times a day for up to a half hour each time.  I believe it helps strengthen the plants' stems.
