Finished with the transplanting and seed starting - took a look at the time and it is a bit too late to drive up. Had lunch but feeling hungry - head out for some fish and chips and then a beer or two.
Turned into a really nice day and a lot of people were out walking. I was on the back deck with my wheelbarrow of potting mix - 1/3rd each three-way (topsoil, sand and compost), cow poop and sphagnum moss. This is nice and fertile without being too "hot" and burning the roots. The sphagnum really holds the water and releases it slowly - that way, you do not need to water as frequently which for a five gallon bucket can be several times/day if it is hot. I did drip irrigation at the farm and have a lot of the various bits and bobs needed so will set it up down here sometime later. A hose works fine for now.
Back in a bit...
