transplanting mantra

[digitS']

I moved tomato seedlings (96) out of their starter boxes and into flats this afternoon. Any real delicate stuff, I have to leave that for DW because I'm so ham-handed but I can do tomatoes.

It isn't as tho' I can't transplant the delicate stuff like snapdragons but - Heavens - it takes me a lot of time !!

Something that comes around as often as springtime. So, I go into my mantra: Many roots, Some leaves, One stem . . . Many roots, Some leaves, One stem . . . Many roots, Some . . .

I don't seem to have broken a single stem. After moving to their new cells, they looked a little like that photograph in the new issue of National Geographic of the holy man submerged in water. Seedlings and I have all survived the ordeal, as best as I can tell.

Tomorrow, we begin again . . . Many roots, Some leaves, One stem . . . Many roots, Some leaves, One stem . . .

Shaking is okay, V.

Just don't do it enuf to damage the stem.

One stem, One stem . . . they have only One stem . . .
