Subject: RE: BS: Seed Catologs comin' in the Mailbox
Hi Janie,

   Hello Everybody. My name is Michelle and I'm a seed catalog and high hopes addict. I received 2 seed catalogs this week and I know I swore that I would NEVER try to grow tomatoes from seeds again, I'm looking at those beautiful photos and just KNOW I can do it THIS year. I promise that I won't get bored with thinning and transplanting the seedlings a month after they outgrow their beginning spots. I won't bitch that I have no room on any of my tables because of all the germinating seeds, I won't. I promise. I will water/mist them as needed. I turn the flats every 4 days or so in order to help my little plants to grow up to be straight and tall. I will put a small fan on low and aim it at the seeds to help them develop stronger stalks. I also promise not to cry when the cats get in and wreck half of all my very hard earned success.

   Ah yes....the hopes and promise that only a seed catalog can bring when old man winter is howling outside my window....

I'm with you Janie....I'm with you.

Michelle
