I went down to Agua Fria Nursery and get some lettuce and chard starts back in mid - November intending to implant them justly away . I waited too long to transfer them and they got stunted and crowd in each cell as designate above .
Chard transpose on Dec 1
When I did transplant them I teased them aside and planted them in small weed . Here they are right after I transplanted them on December 1 . ‘ BT ’ , the military man of the mansion , inspects them .

Chard transplants on Dec 14
Here are the Chard transplant on Dec 14 - only 14 sidereal day later ! Look at the difference between the two pictures . I ’ve grow all the dough and chard transplants under my lights in the theater as it is too icy to put them in the greenhouse now . I figured I could look till after thePersephone periodwas over and by then they would be just big enough to transpose in the GH . The Persephone point will be over on January 15th here in Santa Fe when the daytime hour get longer again . The plants will be ready to transpose way before that prison term catamenia . The chards are coming along nicely . I ’m growing ‘ Argentata ’ chard and ‘ Ruby Red ’ chard .
I engraft them in a new potting soil foretell Batch 64-‘Moonshine ’ which is available at Agua Fria Nursery in town . It ’s terrific with everything growing very tight . When I went back to Agua Fria Nursery and talked to Bob , he said he had the same experience last year , especially with the Lycopersicon esculentum .
