Thanks, everyone, for the cautions. I can understand Anna's reasoning, as it is a pain in the you-know-what to keep the cats from taking their naps on top of the flats right now. Not to mention that the little feline darlings are just loving to ingest their greens from the seedling forest!

is it bad if my cucumber plants are forming cucs already?... they are inside in the cow pots
Enjoy them any way you can get them ahead of the Downy Milldew.
whew... i was getting nervous ... thanks
Allison....mine are loaded with flowers and indoors too...but are now in the "mud" room.
ok thanks.... i was thinking i needed to pinch em off.... these things are getting wild on me this year... they must really like those cow pots cause they are huge already... they are latching on to everything... i have to make myself a list what i can start early and what should wait longer.... like my skinny tomatoes AGAIN for the second year .... the ones I have three sets of lights on are doing great... i have about 15 of them that i actually pinched to hope for the best because they are so scrawny

moved some more out yesterday
a few more
Our baby seedings will start to move out after the 20th full moon. We brought bunches in for tonight. We are still in the danger zone looking for 40 degrees tonight. All of your recent flats and pots going out look great.
I have enjoyed all of the baby pix and more as they grew. It helped me wade through the winter's short days.
aaaaawwww..... thanks
I hope there will be pannaramic views when gardens are in full swing.

AND YET MORE BABYS
A neighbor got me started. A new found friend on this site sent me these while I found two more different locally and ordered a few in our site co-op. The bed is all but ready to set them in and mulch with small sized river sifted stone.
I guess these are called cuttings or plantlets. They are shown basking in a high humidity and soft spring rain. Next nice day they will be planted and mulched. Soon I will have lots of hens and chicks to share.
I am relatively new as a grower of these critters. Let's see if someone else will comment on how to do a division and new planting. I don't really think you can hurt them or do much wrong. If it were mine I would shallow dig the mothers and cut the chicks from the stem leaving a short piece of stem to serve as a temporary anchor.
Most plants of this nature like to cure for a week in the shade to scab over and then be replanted. I do not think they like or want any kind of fertilization. Stand by for improved ideas over my guess.
love hens & chicks
