D'oh

I was sowing seeds a spell ago.  More chard and beet and lettuce. 

I had the proper number of pots for the job but I quickly realized that I didn't have enough markers on hand.   (More on markers later.)

Since I planned to line them all along the side of the garage, I decided to make do with what I had (as I was feeling terribly lazy) and those without markers would run along after pots potted with the same plant, until you ran into a different veggie (with its marker) so that they all ran along the outside wall in order.

Planter marked 'chard'...two planters to the right with chard but no marker...Planter marked 'beets'...three planters to the right with beets with no marker...and so on...and so on...and so on...

This worked like a charm and I was pleased with what I'd done.

Fast forward a week - the rains came.  (By-the-way, they haven't left.  grrrr...)  And I thought, "Oh! Well, best get those pots watered!  Move them out from under the shelter of the garage roof and save the effort of having to water them myself!" 

So clever.

(pat pat pat on the back)

Out I ran and moved those pots.

In no particular order.



Darnit.

Guess I'll find out what those unmarked pots contain when they sprout.
