Hi: I wonder if you could comment on the color temperature of the shop lights you use. I’ve been using one warm and one cool temperature light, but I’ve noticed that they come in different ranges. For the warm lights I’ve seen 2700 or 3500; for the cool 4100, 5000 or 6500. Does it matter? What’s best? What do you use? Many thanks. Shirley

And here I thought that was a pic of cheese at first. And then wondered if you guys were starting to make soaps.

Not yet with the back pain… that’s usually a sign of tomatoes and pepper planting!
Outside huh – that would be hard here as the plots that are not still under snow and swimming in water (mostly)… hummm – do you think rice can be started early?

And by now you’ve probably got the sore neck/back that comes with hunching over all that seed-starting, right?

I just planted radish seeds outside, and think I’m gonna take some bunching onion seeds out there as well. Might try spinach direct sown outdoors now, even though it might be a bit early – it’s got to do better out there than down in the basement with The Mouse.

Yeah Max – I’m such a slacker I never get around to doing anything… always sitting around with my feet up!

Gee, you’re just now getting around to cutting down the old raspberry canes? With the Heritage variety it is a lot easier to just mow them to the ground in the fall. As far as any extra baby plants this year – we’ll have to wait until the glacier in my back yard melts so we can see the new shoots.
