It realy is spooky, isn't it?

Annapet, yes didn't you know I am brugnuts?? LOL. This is my second year of renting garden plots to raise brug seedlings. I rent 4, 3 for brugs. I have a couple hundred seedlings growing there. It takes me about 2 to 3 hours or so to water at least 3 times a week all summer. It is about 40 minutes from my house.

So far I have gotten maybe 2 or 3 that I really like. I do admit I am very particular. LOL. Those 2 or 3 sure cost me a lot in time and money. I should just buy whatever I want on eBay. Even if I paid $500 each it would be cheaper and oh so much easier on me.

Just try dealing with mites on a couple hundred brugs. Esp. in an organic garden. It takes me all day to spray them all with Neem. I use it by the gallon. LOL And I go thru lots of fertilizer and pots.

I also have a friend that lets me use their back yard. I only have about 20 seedlings left there but I will be moving about 50 from my back yard to there for the winter. That will leave me about 200 seedlings in my backyard. I can hardly walk back there. Can you imagine all the rockwool and soil I go thru?

I just started putting up my new seeds last week but haven't really been able to get into it. LOL I am insane.

I do not have a good picture but here is one that shows part of 1 plot. Approx. 6 month old seedings.
