Sorry it's been so long since I chatted but I've been soooooo busy!

I took today off. I didn't call in sick or anything. My plants will just have to make it a day without me. First day I've took off since the first of May. This 14 hour a day, seven day a week thing, has gotten to be a whole lot too much for me.

I did get caught up with writing up all my crosses today but I'm 8 days behind on making labels. Tomorrow will be devoted to pod hunting, label making and spraying. It may take 2 days, but so be it, I've got to get within 4 days anyway. I get paranoid when I get this far behind.

Thursday I made just nearly 200 crosses and that was an exhausting day for me. By the time I got everything written down, made 100 tags and hung about the same on my plants and then hunted pods for another batch of tags, it was 10:30pm and I started at 5:30am. This is supposed to be fun and that day I cried I was soooooo tired. (Oh, I plum forgot about pictures, I guess I could have done it by flashlight ) Yesterday I did about the same. Now------NOW!! I've decided I must sale some plants, finally I feel as though I can part with some of my babies. Ok, so it took a physical break to make up my mind but I can't handle this many. I don't know what a good quantity is for a nearly 60 year old woman(with fibromyalgia and daily pain that causes severe fatifue) to be able to take care of and still have some fun ocassionally is, but it's not 1500 pots!!!! So, this week, I will be putting together groups of plants that will be offered for sale. I was going to do a local plant sale earlier but bloom season hit full fledge, all at once, and I got so caught up in trying for seeds, there was no time to get ready for a sale at that time. Now, most plants aren't blooming, but I have seen many rebloom scapes putting on!!! I've never had rebloom since the first year of my plants being here. So, I suppose the feeding progam is working. I'm tickled pink that I'm getting rebloom.

So, advise from anybody??? And Thanks for everyone giving comments on my seedlings.
That makes a whole lot of tiredness go away
