Katie ~ Have a safe trip. I hope everything works out well. Yes, please keep us posted of your adventures. Yes, Katie, let's hope that Katie does not have to stop suddenly while driving and hurt her foot more. Please do take care.

Dave ~ Thanks for reminding me. I need to give my seedlings a weak feed. I always seem to forget after they emerge to give them a boost. I have many seedlings. I had better make the rounds, as soon as I have my bookcase put back together.

It really needs better brackets for the shelves. It has the small plug-in type brackets that are good for about a year or so. They are not meant to hold up heavy gardening books. I was looking for some of my books as I clean that bookcase out about twice a year. In the meantime I just dust. This time the cleaning was forced upon me as the middle shelf fell into the bottom stack of books.

I was trying to get a book off the bottom shelf. Not without a lot of effort. The two ideal locations for the middle shelf have disappeared as the holes in there are not stable to hold the brackets. I will try the third, though less than ideal location. Otherwise, I will just have to have it out of my room and ask Steve for some ideas, like installing proper brackets or redrilling some of the holes. (This design does not allow for the regular type of brackets.)

I agree with Katie about having Lee's snow melt and Dave's (and everyone else's) pain to take a vacation....and no more intense storms for anyone. Let's have spring! I am ready. (It rained for most of the day plus last night as well.) At least the plants are liking it. The cool-weather plants, that is.

I just mulched the new "Hot Bed". I have a lot more to plant in there but either they have not yet arrived or the seedlings are not up to size yet. It is just as well since the ground is soaking once again. I got the mulch on just in time....
