Dude, you need more than dirt! Sounds like you need about 300 more hands!

Oh, I have containers. Lots of containers.

Tim, I also have a couple months to get all these sown. I plan to do at least 20 container every time the almanac says to start seed beds. Usually this is just before the full and new moons.

I need to get my hoophouse up in another couple of weeks. I'll be sowing perennials in there first, then moving them out in March to start the annuals. I have a system this year.
