We repotted the early girl tomatoes, lettuce and cauliflower on Sunday. The larger pots, still all clustered under the the hydra lamp, have overflowed into where our stereo used to sit. (Our lack of furniture has left the stereo to wait on the floor until its home is vacated.) While repotting, we snipped back the weaker seedlings of the peat pots with multiple sprouts. 🙁 Some of the stems of the cauliflower and lettuce were/are not really strong enough to hold the weight of the leaves unless the plant is standing completely vertical, which tends not to happen much as they track the sunshine coming in from the window. Next time we want to start the artificial lighting as soon as the sprouts break the surface. Mike thinks we might have been overwatering too, but it’s hard to tell. I vote for a second weak fertilizing.

It’s been rainier lately, ranging in temperature from about 40 to the low 50’s. No activity outside (neither paw nor plant originated) with the lettuce, spinach or peas, yet. Perhaps it’s too cold, or too wet, still.

Though using indoor light, I still like my first pictures on Mike’s snazzy fancy camera (Cauliflower above, alyssum below):
