OK, I killed the thread. I’m sorry.

I’m also exhausted. So off to bed with me. See you in the next MMP.

Nope, the MMP isn’t dead yet…but, gosh, we’re quiet today.

Hope \*\*LiLi \*\*and **Muppet** are having fun.

Clever painting technique, **FCM**.

I’ve acquired seeds and looked up [how to make newspaper pots](http://www.geocities.com/newspaperpots/)so that I can start seeds and just pop them into the ground when it’s time to put them out. We’ll see how it works out. At least I’m getting started at a reasonable time.

I’m going to collect up the recycling and figure out how many paper pots I need to make. I’m hoping to get lights set up in the basement next weekend.

Gonna knit for a bit now then get cleaning…

Home.

I must say, **LiLi** and Mr Lissar and Gnat are all wonderful and lovely and entertaining. Of course, I’ve been bribed with dinner and chocolate cake and some random fabric bits, so my opinion is somewhat biased. 🙂

Thanks for the newspaper pot link, **gt**. I used little greenhouse kits with peat pellets this year, but next year I might just have to try it out.

In fact, I planted some of the sprout-early seeds yesterday, since I figure we’re now roughly 6-8 weeks to the last frost date (hopefully). This year there will be little yellow plum tomatoes and larger striped red ones, as well as some [little blue](http://www.mckenzieseeds.com/products.aspx?productID=131007) peppers and a couple of [malva](http://www.tsflowers.com/html2/malva_zebrina.html) plants for more decorative purposes. Hopefully it’ll be warm enough to plant all the little seedlings before we leave for our trip in May, but if not, there’s always the option to leave them in the custody of our catsitters.
