Give peas a chance


The peas have sprouted!!

The beets continue along nicely.  I multiple-planted a few of the pots and I have now had to thin those.  Of course, one of the pots is not productive, so I SHOULD have put many seeds in that one.  The flat with the beets should probably come out from under the plastic today.



I hate thinning.  I feel like every plant COULD be a delicious beet if only I had planted them the right distance apart.  I hate trying to choose the ones that will be culled, too.  What if I choose wrong and the one I leave has some dreadful root rot that I didn't notice?  But the empty pots in the flat are telling me why it's good to plant more than one seed where I want only one plant.
