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?*๐Ÿ˜•

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.

*Gloomy sky*

Ok, so the walk with me part is boring because it is raining too hard to take pics.....

*In the greenhouse now. Using the top mounted heater now, it has a fan as well as being able to run at a lesser temp before kicking on*

*Some good looking tomato plants!!*

*Giant Marigolds. We have 4 types altogether. #companionplanting*

I need to get back to transplanting now even though I don't want to haha! It looks like it is Thai Basil next....

*Done and ready for a blast of light and some fans until Saturday when I bring them out to my greenhouse*
