Get' er Done Today ~ The Transplanting I Am Avoiding

After all my hype the other day about doing my herb transplants, it didn't actually happen. I got so behind trying to do everything that I ended up pretty grumpy by the end of the day. I bailed totally on my job, but today is a new day, and it is raining out. Perfect day to catch up

#greenpower smoothie!

I got up at 5am and did my house stuff and the kids lunches. By the time they were getting up I had already done pretty much everything for the day. Next, I made myself a hemp seed/coconut milk/fruit/cannabis leaf smoothie. It is my third day incorporating the leaves in to my smoothies. There are so many epic reasons to get raw cannaboids into you that I will do a separate post about it! I am adopting a whole new health regimen including exercise, going to fix this body right up!

Not as pretty after it's blended, but actually tastes good!

Now to tackle the transplants I've been avoiding. I kind of don't like using trays to transplant into, probably why I've been avoiding it. Pots are much easier to maneuver since they are singles. Once I got going though, it was easier than I thought.

Starting with the Sage

Pop a bunch out of the 200 tray

Transplant them into the 50 trays

And repeat.

Halfway through

Onto the Genovese Basil

Halfway point through this tray and I am starting to get stir crazy, my back is killing me!! Crap. I am only at 3 hours....keep on keeping on, right? At this point I decided to seed some Cucamelons for a change of pace.

And back to the Basil. Did I mention there are 3 kinds of Basil to transplant?😕

I was going to transplant these bunches of thyme, but I think I can get away with leaving them in here! The cells I started them in are bigger which buys more time. I will feed them some compost tea and take them to the greenhouse until planting weekend. Then, right into the field.

Next transplants are a toss between Italian Parsley and one of the Basils.

Italian Parsley that could really use the transplant

Taking a break from this to check on the greenhouse, I feel like I should turn the heater on low since it is so chilly out. Good excuse to stretch my legs.
