Nice looking list. I wonder what the Peaches and Cream will look like? I like the name.

Makes you feel good once you have them transplanted doesn't it. Now you can sit back, relax and enjoy watching them grow.

I hope you have a very fruitful year.

Must feel good. Still working on mine. Hope to be done this weekend. I had to replant the seeds from the ones that got cooked when the heating mat went amok.

Very nice list. You have a few on your list I have grown that are favorites of mine, a few I am growing out for the first time, and a few that I want to try next season like Perth's Pride and Dixie Wine. I hope you have a wonderfull season.

I have been transplanting the past few weeks and still have more to go. I lost track of how many plants I have so far. Way more than I planned on.

How come you are in Michigan and already planting your seedlings? I thought it was colder there than in the Chicago area. What am I missing? Do you have a greenhouse by any chance?

Yeah I was going to ask that too. But then I though he is just germinating.

Detroit area weather is pretty much Chicago's weather about a day later.

That still does not explain how come he is transplanting so early. Nights are still very chilly. So unless he has a greenhouse, my guess is that he is just transplanting his plants to bigger pots and keeping them all inside.
Am I missing something here?

I believe he might be referring to transferring his seedlings to larger containers, not planting in ground this early. He can correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought so. Michigan is still pretty cold by now. There are still plenty of chances for freezing temperatures.
I personally will wait a couple more weeks before I move my plants to their final spots in the ground. And even then I don't think that they are safe.

Yes, I am sure his is just moving his up to larger containers, as I am currently doing. It will be at least Mothers Day before planting in the ground. The last 2 years it has actually been Memorial Day before we were frost free, but that is unusual. I have it on pretty good authority that Paul has access to a greenhouse, though.
