Memo to self

Memo to self:

Next year, start the garden seeds around the end of February/first of March. They will be the perfect size for transplanting in May.

Do NOT set the trays of seedlings on the trampoline. Even on a beautiful 65 degree day, the trampoline heats up enough to cook the poor little seedlings to death in a few hours.

Seedlings from the store are expensive. It really IS worth the effort of growing your own.

Get some craft sticks to label rows.

Save grass clippings to mulch between rows.

Edited later to add: Broccoli was ready July 12. Grow more next year.  It needs almost as much room as a tomato plant.
