Stone's Throw Farm

It pays to watch craigslist. On Saturday, Elden found this post advertising supplies for starting seedlings. I got a bunch of used trays and some pots when I bought the hoophouse from a former bedding plants grower, but I didn’t have everything I needed, so I called and it sounded promising. Elden and I headed up to Saginaw yesterday afternoon. I found lots of square plastic pots that will work great when I “pot on” the tomatoes and peppers into larger containers. I picked up some plug trays, a few carrying trays, and some other goodies, too — Elden insisted we take a couple of giant hard plastic Easter eggs for the pigs to play with! There’s still a ton of six-packs, smaller square pots, and large round pots that I didn’t take if anyone is interested.

I saw a few pepper seedlings peeking out of the soil yesterday evening. Here’s a photo of the tomato seedlings.
