It appears that the weather is going to remain warm (above freezing, that is) for at least the next 10 days. I have decided to take my plants out of the house. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
I hadn't realized just how many plants I had until I moved them all. I did pretty good this time around. That is, I didn't lose that many plants over the winter because I didn't care for them properly while they were in the house! I tend to ignore and underwater while stuff is inside.
I've been to Big Bloomers twice in the last 3 weeks, and I did a good job of practicing restraint with regard to spending. Which is a good thing. The tomatoes I bought are doing well, so is my cilantro, and the mixed greens seed I sowed several weeks ago. I'm well on my way to a great garden of food.
Today, I plan to carry some plants back home from my sister's greenhouse; plants that I had recieved as freebies from the Garden Writers' Symposium in September. I can't even remember what I have! These will go in either of my two beds; I haven't designed them yet, but I'm getting there. I've been a busy girl, so one thing at a time, I guess.
Back to the warm nights. I have the day off tomorrow, so I'll spend it in the garden cleaning up the stuff that came from inside the house, re-pot some things, clean the house of all the debris left behind. The day promises to be a good one, so I'll have plenty of sunshine to enjoy while I'm out there.

Hey, Sandie. When you move plants from indoors to outdoors, do you do anything special regarding water? nutrients? light? soil?
