Charmaine packed up and headed to San Diego this morning, so I spent the day putting together a second baker’s rack and a few more lights. I also transplanted the first round of tomato seedlings into bigger pots. The first round of peppers are probably ready to be transplanted as well, and I have enough dirt and pots for them, but I’ll need more lights before it makes sense to do. The dirt for the transplant is some new Miracle-Gro potting mix that we picked up at IFA. There was no way I would sacrifice any more plants to the sure-death Jiffy soil.

One thing I didn’t count on was being without a camera today (Charmaine took it to San Diego), so you’ll have to settle for pictures from the world’s worst camera (my iPhone).
