Our house is full of plants. And more are covered up outside... Focused on the remaining flowers, cabbage, beets and potatoes outside, brought the chard and potted flowers onto the porch. We'll see what survives the frost. But I'll have some goodies for the remaining pollinators (and maybe some other goodies to harvest for us next week).

Ugh. So, I had brought some of my pepper plants indoors, and found one of these decimating it! Sneaky little bugs! Be aware of signs of #Hornworm infestation! Especially after bringing in any nightshade species!

Yeah, I've had to move all of my rainbow chard and beets to the shadier side of the house (they get morning sun and that's it). They were getting pretty wilted. The lettuce bolted (not surprising, but I don't mind having more seeds), and the peppers are thriving! @BrambleBearGrrrauwling @yvan

Johnny's Seeds has these tips (they have lots of good gardening advice).
"Transplant - Dill can be started indoors in containers or cell trays. Sow 3-5 seeds per cell. Transplant out using 2-4" spacing in rows at least 4" apart."
I also saw that "Dill does not transplant easily," from the #UMN Cooperative Extension website. So best to plant them in bigger pots to begin with.

So, I dedicated one of our veggie/fruit drawers for seed storage! Now I know where everything is, and the cool temps keep the seeds viable for longer periods, @BrambleBearGrrrauwling !
