The good:  there are seeds in the ground, some have germinated and are growing.  There is a sprinkler setup for watering and so far weed control in planted areas is mostly under control.  The hot house poly is up and I’m getting closer to moving plants outside.

The bad: my tomatoes, eggplants and peppers.  I have still been unable to get them outside and some of them are still in the small cells.  Lack of food, sometimes water and good light is making for some not very healthy looking plants.  They are still green and alive though.  Also in the bad is all the grass I am growing in the garden, plus moles and gophers.

The ugly: the weather, still getting some very cold nights.  I left my water pump primed and a couple of nights of freezing had me worried.  Thankfully the pump survived without any damage.  The wind is also a concern, one for the hot house since it isn’t fully secured yet and two for the plants in the garden.  I’m looking at setting up some wind breaks in the garden with pallets for a fence.

The steel eyed nameless stranger right now is only saying three words that keeps the plot moving: plants want to grow
