Belstar broccoli round 2 started

On a whim decided to start a round 2 of broccoli, though only Belstar.  Round 1 broccoli is either huge (only the piracicabas are huge) and I'm not sure how they'll transplant by the time GA is open; the other round 1s are kind of not looking the best.  So, we'll see how round 2 goes.

Started tomatoes (many varieties), ground cherries, basil, and zinnias

 Basil:  Prospera

Zinnia:  The usual mix of short and tall, and the last of the yellow store-bought.

Ground cherries:  The packet bought a few years ago.

Tomatoes:  All the varities I have except for Scotia. So this includes, by memory:  

- Damsel

- Big Tofu Plus

- Mortgage Lifter

- San Marzano (my first time trying these)

- Jasper

- can't remember what else

Hardening day 2 -- and now living downstairs full time (hardies only)

Today the hardies went out in full shade for 2.5 hours.

And I decided I'm done with lugging them up/down stairs, under / out from the lights -- so they'll live on the kitchen table when not outside.
