more trays

So good news! My aster is sprouting already, and quite proficiently. My zinnias have miraculously begun to come up, too, despite how little time it's been since they were planted.

Today I planted a peat tray each of chives and celery (crosses fingers). Celery is so hard to grow. It does that infamous thing that we gardeners call "damping off".

i haven't started any veggie plants yet; my customers and I, well acquainted with the weather here in the shadow of the Eastern Continental Divide, seldom plant tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc. before May 15. I'll have cabbage plants ready for March, and will probably plant field corn and potatoes in April. The hybrid sweet corn needs a warmer soil temp: 60-70F, depending on variety.

Speaking of early spring crops, do people in your area eat creasy greens? I sell a lot of them. People tell me that I'm one of the few growers who doesn't include weeds in my creasy greens.

To be honest, I haven't a clue what creasy greens are-lol-what are they?
