@digitS' ... I don't know how you do all that baby transplanting!
I did more seed crowding this year, and then 10 flats of impatiens babies on paper towels and it's like there's no end trying to keep up! It doesn't help that it's so nice out and I've been cleaning out gardens... very nice getting a head start this year on that.

Look'n great @journey11 and Ava!

Most of my babies are same ol thing this year, except a new pepper - Sweet Ruby, looked pretty on the rack and they are the biggest toughest looking plants I have growing, hope they taste as good as they look!

And I'm thrilled with my coleus babies ... now preschoolers ....

Well I finally remembered to take my camera to the potting shed this morning. Here's a few shots of things growing now. 7 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, hot peppers and sweet peppers, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, eggplant, 2 kinds of lettuce, and lots more out in the hoophouse.

The pic below is my micro greens. I have harvested several flats already this spring. I just started getting into this micro idea last year and we are enjoying the greens in salads more this year than ever before. These are just about ready for harvest.

Nice work, Smiles Jr.! You are so organized too. This is the best set up I've seen yet. Do you plant them all or sell some?

Wow, what an impressing assembling line! That sure looks like a lot of plants. Will you be canning some of the harvest?

Wellllllll, I plan to plant lots of them and then I will give the rest away. My sister and brother are both gardeners and they always take some. Both are busy with careers and raising families. Then I have a barter agreement with two neighbors who are also farmers. One trades with me for raw cow milk (shhhhhh!) and the other trades with me for goat milk. This is my first year with the farm here at PlayStation and I'm not real sure how things are going to work out. I guess I'll just have to braille my way through the seasons this year.

Oh yes, ninnyM. We always put up as much as possible. There is a very large unused cistern under the house and I plan to turn it into a cold storage room. It'll be a lot of work but I think worth it.

Seriously, @Smiles Jr. Potting shed? The photos look more like a laboratory than a shed. Good looking plants you have started there.

Hey, I like to barter--that's the way to go! I plant a few extras to share with my mom and my neighbor too. I always have something new for them to try.

That will be a really cool project, building that cellar. Doesn't sound like you'll need to do much beyond putting in the ventilation and building shelves. I'd love to see pics of it when you're done. I have cellar envy. I am dreaming of building one in the corner of my basement (needs insulated against the heat of the wood furnace), but that's a big project for DH and we already have a lot of more necessary remodeling that needs done first. So I will continue to dream and pin pictures of other people's cellars.

Oh yeah - me too! The honey-do list is a mile long around here.
