After potting things up in the greenhouse this morning I now have over 100 plants growing in my office.

I started seedlings back in February and have subsequently come to realize that grow lights also make excellent SAD lights.
A corner shelf, in a wooden greenhouse, holds some loose soil and around 25 small tomato plants in square green pots. In the background are stacks of leftover plastic pots from previously planted flowers. There are three long skinny tables tucked into the corner of a small office. Each table holds trays of plants. Some are young flower seedlings and others are small tomato and pepper plants.

Today was seed planting day. Added tomatoes and several varieties of flowers to the seedling crew. This is my home office which I rearrange every time this year to give plants more square footage than myself. 🌱
A table full of covered trays containing newly planted seeds. In the middle, one tray has pepper plant seedlings already emerging. A try showing 6 different packets of cherry tomato seeds. Including red, gold, orange, and blueish tomatoes.

This is an excellent example of the vibe I’m giving off for the rest of the month.

Little dude is a much more reliable indicator of house temp than the Nest. Better load times too.

I’ve learned to saddle stitch. With this great power I’ve decided to learn to make things I can kick very hard. For reasons.
(The nice looking ball on the right was a purchase and the inspiration for this newfound skill, I’m not that good, yet)

Got my greenhouse set up a couple weeks ago, just in time for 4 more inches of snow.
