Consider it done! The Open Fields are finally planted as of today, by the way. Major bad news though- it seems in all the effort to count stairs, I didn't count chiles too good :-/ Instead of multiplying the flats times 36 plants per flat- which I should have- I multiplied by 48. As a result, we'll *only* have 6,300 plants in the open fields, not the 8,500 I was counting on. Sigh.... How's the Tin Man song from the Wizard of Oz go? ... "if I only had a brain!" My apologies if this causes any changes to the plans. -Jim C Mild to Wild(R) http://www.StepUpForCharity.org
