Windy Day

Springtime in New Mexico.

The wind picked up as the weather man had forecast. Winds hit 58-65 mph this afternoon. Scant rain but barely enough to dampen the road surface.

Daughter and I stayed home for the most part. I suggested a drive but she declined. 

She played some games and watched a show online while I started more flower seeds in the new paper pots I made. 

Those are working out really well so far! I can fit 8 of them, decent size, in one dish tub. I do think it's best to pack them against each other to make sure they don't collapse. Long as they hold together long enough for roots to form, they should be great! 

I've started tossing out old foam cups which were taking up space and hard to store. Not to mention apparently do not work nearly as well because there is no wick effect. 

Blue Bonnets and Marigolds are sprouting in the seed trays. Can move them one shelf up to harden them off, then transplant them out in a week or so. 

Dreading a look at the garden tomorrow, afraid of what the wind has done to the tomato and pepper seedlings.
