Friday: the weekend agenda

Well, right now the temps are in the 40's Is spring coming or is it another tease? Hopefully we've had enough moderate temps that the core of the compost defrosted. If not, I'm cracking it open and taking a wizz in it. Since wednesday is the first seed starting day...more on that in future posts, I might as well clear out the aerogarden. I've got to switch out trays for the 70 seedling tray (which disappointingly is styrofoam.) That means finding a home for the purple basil until it goes to the garden. The Mint and Valerian will likely get a friend on my office window, and my co-workers will likely start to wonder about me. Speaking of which, isn't the valerian looking great, starting to get a more upright habit, sprouting new "branches" all the time.

I've also got some survey work to do, need to mark out the garden position. The ground is still weeks from " workable" but I'll feel much better knowing I've at least got one step done. If I can find some suitable pots I'll put the grape cuttings in them, I get nervous about them, I know it will work out, but they don't have roots yet, how can they be ok!? I know I know they're dormant still, deep breath, ok.
