I really did intend to transplant tomatoes today!

But I ended up cleaning out the potting shed instead.

I had remembered that I needed lime to put in the planting holes for the tomatoes. It was buried on the junked up side of the potting shed.
Well phooey. I just decided...time to do some sweeping and cleaning and organizing. The bag of lime....was waaay back on a bottom shelf. The bag has a split in the side. Too heavy anyways.

So....now the potting shed is clean...organized..the windows are back to open..with the screens.

The old starter pots with dead stuff in them..... ...all. emptied and stacked.

I finally got to the bag of lime. Took me a while to figure out what to put some in. I found a metal stock pot that i had bought for another project.

So...tomorrow morning...while it is still cool... I can transplant the tomatoes

That ended up being a great "side track!" What is it about gardening that causes us to be such slobs? I just hate to get rid of anything I might need or use in the garden. Sounds like you have a great start to your gardening season. Enjoy!

Last year my potting shed projects got sidelined by a bunch of escapee chicks. I had 3 hatches.....April/May....July...and August. We were trying out brooding them in their run and respective chicken tractors.
They kept escaping. Well.....mama can't protect them if they are outside of the fence. So I had to keep filling in escape routes.

All of my stuff in the potting shed......died.

I didn't intend to do quite as much as I did today. My hands are sore and blistered everywhere. Still, I had a lot of fun.

Worked in the garden beds cleaning the winter weeds out. I must admit today was the first day of this season where I was over-heated while working. The temps reached mid-70's and a sweatshirt was nearly unbearable, but I stuck with it. Three more beds cleaned and the weeds on the west side of the garden fence are cut down. I am hoping to plant sunflowers along that fence this year.

I have tomato plants on the table, waiting to go outside. Have the garden ready, will plant next week.

Sometimes you gotta clean up the old mess before you make a new mess!
