Beginners luck seems to be running out! Along with mother nature adding her twist too, with this cold air blast! None of my seeds I soaked last week have come up. Having peeked a time or two I'm holding out some glimmer of hope that I might get a couple. On the bright side, I've got a nice 740 Washer(thanks, Tammy) that was an early test germ, that I've held onto. It's a bit tied up, but much better than what's in the germination station at this time. I'll do some pictures of the 1036 Slone and the 980 Klinker next week when the weather perks up. At lest they are still alive and doing fairly well. Started my second atempt at compost tea yesterday. Drained the barrel down to half (approx 15 gallon) of week old rain water. Added one cup of water soluble kelp, one cup of Mr. wiggles worm castings, half a cup of blood meal, half a cup of bone meal and a spoon full of mycros. My plants were a little thirsty today so I went ahead and gave them a gallon each. I know it's not ready yet, but there will be plenty to go around on Tuesday. Put some screws to three pallets I have to work compost in. I lined it with plastic from last years attempt hoop houses. My compost has just been a small pile at the corner of the patch with blue tarp covering it. I must say it looks great, just wish I had four times that much!!! We'll improve our skills and patch little by little and in a few years we'll have a 'Professional Patsh"!!!!
