Day 175: It's dibble time! I waited a little longer than usual to start my "8-10 weeks before last frost" seeds this year because we've been having rather chilly nights. The Pixie Bells of Ireland probably would have been okay to plant earlier since they require a chill period and have been in the fridge for ten days, but I didn't want Tricolor Daisies or hot peppers to stand too long in the sponge cells while they wait to be transplanted to the garden. That's all I'm growing this year. Tomatoes have been a remarkable failure three years in a row now, even when I've bought commercial starts. And if the truth be told, I have never, ever successfully grown any type of pepper, so Pot-a-Peño is probably doomed from the get-go. Still, the urge to plant and grow things is strong. You almost might think I believe a better world is coming.
