Tomato Seeds

I'm not much in the mood for gardening. I just have too many things going this year. But, it is time to plant seeds and I need to document what I am doing. So here is the quick update.

I planted four variety of heirloom tomato seeds last night. I planted in alphabetical order, from nearest to farthest on the table. They include 16 seeds each of Hungarian Heart, Italian Heirloom, John Baer, and Rutgers.

Last year, the place I had them became a bit of a mess. I'm trying to keep the mess contained this year. It is by an east-facing window, so there will be morning light. I am watering from the bottom, pouring water into the plastic basin that the planting containers sit in.

Starting Over

Spring! Temperatures today got to 82F.

I decided I needed to look at the hives. Both were weak. I didn't see evidence of a living queen in either. I think I need to find a queen, or find a way of making a queen. I probably need to combine the hives. Interestingly enough, there was ample honey and, with the temperatures where they are, nectar will be right around the corner.
