It's Getting to be Garden Season!

 Yesterday Kyle and I went to Salina for 

another Menard's pickup.

We returned the concrete forms we ended

up not using and got a $350 store credit.

And then turned around and bought some

potting and seed starting dirt,

some more electrical wire for the house,

and a couple of watering wands for 

the garden. Our water is SO hard out here,

they only last a season (maybe) and are

quite pricy! ($20 each).

We found some on clearance for $8.99!

And EVERYTHING in the store gets an

11% rebate! YEA!!!

Anyhow.

We also picked up our 53 boxes of flooring.

And since the rebate started within 14 days

of us paying for it, they gave us the rebate

on the flooring too!

YEA!

Another $300-ish, so our kitchen countertops

will be all paid for!

Yippeeeeee.

Anyhow.

As always, we hit Braums on the way out of town.

Kyle actually let me take a picture of him!

He said he realized there are almost NO pictures

of him in existence except when I sneak one.

So he said it was ok.

This morning Rod and I up-potted all the best

of the Lemon Boy, Sun Gold (cherry) and

Big Beef Slicer tomatoes into pots.

And then we refilled the 72 cell tray with

more Romas.

The first round didn't do well.

So we are starting them again.

I put a dome over them after I took the picture....

And am being MUCH more mindful how I water them

this time around.

The first round we did them in coco coir

which has NO nutrients in it and had a hard

time both with watering and feeding.

This time we bought actual seed starter mix

that has feed in it and holds water better.

So fingers crossed!
