   Seeds in!

   Hi All,   
      
   Tuesday, I spent nine hours cleaning out wees and two hours planting   
   seeds.  I am still soar!  But Since Herbal medicinae is one of my   
   hobbies, I hit the BF&D (bone, flesh , and cartilage) pretty hard and   
   most of the soreness is down.   
      
   We are not suppose to plant to the first week in June, due to the random   
   freezes, but we are having a hot spell (80F day and 50 night), so I took   
   the risk and planted anyway.   
      
   I have terrible luck with tiny seeds.  But I took the risk   
   and planted two types of onions, eggplant, and tomatillos which have   
   tiny seeds.  After June I can not get ANYTHING   
   to sprout up.  I presume it is the heat cooking them in   
   the soil, but I do not know.  It could be the earwigs eating them too.   
      
   So now I wait and wonder if anything will sprout.  Oh, and complain   
   about the feed hurting, my back hurting, my legs hurting, yada, yada,   
   yada...   
      
      
   And how the hell did my head get sunburned whilst   
   wearing this hat !?!?!

   Most of the seeds went in in the dark.  I had   
   to switch my headlamp to Red and the bugs   
   attached me with white.  Gave me a start when   
   some of the seed packed in white paper envelopes   
   and white seeds.  The seed disappeared under   
   red light.  I thought they had shipped me an   
   empty packet.  Temporarily switching  back   
   to white light solved that issue.   
      
   The waiting on the sprouting is driving me nuts.   
   PATIENCE!!!!
