Busy Weekend

The weather still stinks out. Almost the entire country is still caught in lower than normal temperatures. It was cold (40 degrees) on Easter. That didn't stop me from going to Lowe's and spending too much money. 3 cubic Yards of Peat, 1 bag of Vermiculite, 1 10lbs bag of Plant-Tone 5-3-3, one jar of Rootone, some peat pots and seeds. Spinach, hot peppers, basil, oregano, parsley. I fertilized everything in the garden , radishes, the wintersown seeds, and all of the lettuce. This is my first foray into using any kind of fertilizer, I really hope it doesn't burn the plants. I really hope this plant-tone stuff is not a harsh fertilizer. I read a number of publications that say don't let the fertilizer touch the plants. I didn't do that. Also, I took cuttings from each of my azaleas, my neighbors rose, my blueberry bush and our holly tree's out front. Each of the cutting got dipped in Rootone and planted. It will be between 2 and 4 months until they get moved so you wont here about them for a couple months.

I also thinned my lettuce in the green house. The lettuce is really scraggly and I'm not sure if I planted it too shallow. I will have to figure that out because I'm gonna start more.

All I know Is that I want the weather to get nicer. I'm running out of room in the greenhouse and I need to get stuff into the sun room. If anyone reads this and has any stories about Espoma's Plant Tone, I would love to hear them. If the fertilizer hurts my precious tomatoes, I might cry. The wintersown seeds are doing great the pots that didnt germinate got pepper seeds to we will see.
