It's springtime and moving beyond last frost dates in the northern parts of the U.S. Garden centers are humming, bees are buzzing. Birds are nesting in my hanging planters.

I planted out 25 tomato seedlings last weekend - what are you growing?

I'm also trying to grow ananas noir this year, but the seedlings don't seem to be thriving when everything else is. Oh well, you'll have to let me know how it is!

So I started mine indoors under a grow light. I used Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting soil. Got a large bag from Sams club, https://www.samsclub.com/p/miracle-gro-moisture-control-potting-mix/prod1640077.

I also mixed in a good amount of crushed up eggshells. My Ananas Noir are producing a bunch of tomatoes so far.
