Kay - do you have any tomatoes yet? Is the evening cool enough for fruit set?

Ginger - make sure you take and post pictures of your babies when they are in their new homes tomorrow. So many seedlings - did you have 100% or close germination?

Ginny - thanks for the update on the trees - mine are HUGE.
Barb, I will take photos. I had about 92-95% germination. I have 16 boxes holding 24 of the 4" pots each. But several are unstable varieties, so it will be interesting to select for which plant on those. I'll let them grow for a few more weeks, then decide.
Going to be fun tomorrow. One girl is bringing Dunkin stuff, and I made my chicken salad, and enormous peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies. And fresh starfruit, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas with lunch.
