Worms and Transplants

With the arrival of the worms it was time to fire up the heater and get the greenhouse warm!

So into the dirt they went. 

If you ever decide to put 1,000 worms in dirt make sure the dirt is warm. These little guys were excellent escape artists and I'm sure I lost more than a few of them as they looked for warmer dirt. After a little while with the heater on it warmed right up and they settled in. 

I also took this opportunity to transplant a few of the crowded plants. I got a little carried away with how many seeds I put in each pot. Only 2-3 next time, not 5. 

Here are a few pictures of the root systems of zucchini. 
This is just a little guy that hadn't even poked out of the ground yet. 

The tomatoes were only one single root with with a few little branches. 
It was pretty fascinating to see the different types of roots. 
Ephesians 3:17- Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your ROOTS will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
