J and I headed out to a farm to take advantage of a friend's very generous offer to "babysit" our seed starts in his heated green house. We had a blast carefully filling and charting our starts for SEVEN (yes, you read that correctly SEVEN) flats of seed starts. The tomato flat had 36 large start pellets, but the other flats were the standard Jiffy variety that house 72 little seed babies. You do the math... this would have been a monster job to tackle alone. We cannot wait to go back and check on the babies in 10 days. We will be even more excited when we plant the starts in the the new community garden in St. Johns!
Me with the tomato flat and J with a "regular" flat, also filled with tomato seeds:

All of the flats, COUNT THEM! We put the babies under newspaper so as to not sun shock them while we worked. I cannot think of a better use of our morning paper:
