Thirty-five out of ninety-six – that’s how many of the new tomato babies I managed to save (or more accurately, recover) after the wind knocked down my seed start containers. There are a few in that number that still...
It is another beautiful day out today, and my second wave of replacement tomato babies are starting to sprout. They may end up being a bit smaller than the others, but with my new grow light, I think they...
