I am SO jealous. My started plants always look like crap and have a terrible root system. Once planted-if they survive me-they do well. I’m an embarrassment for someone that made a living in AG. Guess I need to stick to field crops.
I started some “improved” Better Boys. When they were looking good-along with 4 different types of peppers and the orange o hearts, I sprayed them with a carbon source. HUGE MISTAKE! Lost 1/2 of them, rest look bad. Dumb on my part.

Garden waste-not getting it picked in time is the start of the food for the next crop. Not really lost.
Stores lose some-don’t know how you get away from that as they can build in a “loss” factor when pricing it out. Selling it at discounted rates messes with...
I look forward to every new day that I’m breathing. But day by day. Month by month or worse yet, year by year, the quicker to I won’t see a new day breathing.
