Peat pots

[primsong]

Now everyone say it with me... If Prim puts plants in peat pellets, plus pouring the pitcher upon them, how many pop-up peat pot plants does Prim produce?

That's my question for this coming spring - I'm happily experimenting with those cute little pop-up peat pot pellets in my little greenhouse, and soaking the seeds for my favorites (sweet-peas) tonight to pop into the peat pots, along with a few other fun seeds, delphiniums, foxgloves, some tomatoes and summer squash...that sort of thing. There are so many bulb-tips coming up out of the ground in this yard I am rather boggled - I'll have to get pictures when it all starts blooming.

Anyone with advice on whether its worth it to spray fruit-trees? I have apple, Italian prune and cherry - there's some sort of dormant spray that you're supposed to get on them before the leaves come out, isn't there? And Tinidril - thank Faithwalker for me for the suggestion of using the corn gluten to keep the weeds down around the grapes. :-)

I am such a newbie at this, but enjoying it too. Back to my peat-pots now - I'm going out to see if they really popped up like they were supposed to if you poured water on them. :-D

Now this makes a lot of sense - it was those moths that were concerning the the most, and I'm sure there must be something like that around here someplace.... I've used something similar with great success when we had moths in our pantry a while back. Thank you for the idea to pursue! This way I have time to track some down before the flowers come.
