Thanks. I looked on market place and got sticker shock at used Hobart prices.
For the amount of use I do, the stuffer I have will do

Since it's a mud pit season with more wetness, this is what we did today.
Venison on right, pork on the left.
All ingredients from my 2 hands.
They hit the smoker tomorrow

So the venison bologna came out awesome.
I used a different pre made seasoning and larger casings.
Afterward I started getting a garden plan together and another round of seeds.
4 different pepper varieties and some cabbage.
I noticed that seed supplies were kinda thin picking in places I shopped. Didn't see many of the greens I was looking for.
Happy gardening

I got a couple flats of sauce tomatoes started and 36 red peppers. I have another flat to do for Big Boys and Heirlooms. Still alittle too wet to get the raised bed tilled and planted. All of my garlic came up in the big garden , so that's a good start. Won't be long. 🤞

Son has a 16' x 80' greenhouse coming 

Here's the grow light I set up this past weekend on my 6x4x2' 4 shelf rack.  I seeded 48 tomato plants Saturday and by yesterday afternoon more than 50% sprouted.  
I also seeded 48 peppers plants but they take a little longer to germinate. 
I picked up the grow light on Amazon.

I just did a walk around outdoor garden assessment .I believe I planted only 200 garlic last fall. All the cloves have been sprouted throughout the winter and still look great. I'm not ready yet to pull the straw off yet. My raised beds need turning as well as more soil. Gosh only knows where it disappears.
The tomato seed I did indoors a week ago Sunday, sprouted in 5 days and are now thinned to I seedling per. Their about 8 inches with 4 leaves. Under lights for 14 hrs during day. And moved to a different location.
Basil, spinach and leaf lettuce planted same is doing the same.
Last sunday was some greens and peppers seeds so I'd expect a 7 day sprout.
I tend to run out of indoor space in my current situation so planning is key.
My vision has always been a working outdoor greenhouse.
I'm envious of you folks that do.
1.5 more years to retirement, like a Lucky-13 then time and space will hold no boundaries.

Spring is in the air for farm and garden but I'm going to try to sneak 1 more day to harvest panfish on ice.

Btw:
I'm fishing the lake Ontario tributaries again, including the salmon river for traditional opening trout season in new York

 Caught around two dozen Chubs 5"--6" today in 20 minutes at the creek in my son's yard.  Did get into some decent Crappie at Pymy in Pa on the first of March. Son's greenhouse is 94' not 80' like I thought. I think he should of bought one around 16' x 24' and see if he can even handle that.
 
 He bought a larger one before Covid and didn't put it up. He ended up selling it to a Amish guy a year later for a nice profit. Couldn't buy any with companies out of stock during the pandemic.

Most of the tomatoes have popped. I have em on the lights, but can't find my timer. Guess I'll havta go pick up another one. I might get that other flat together this weekend. I'm not going to start any vine plants yet though, it's too early. My neighbor gave me a great tip last year on starting things like beans, beets and others you normally plant as seeds. She starts them in 2 inch peat pots then just sticks the whole thing in the ground after they sprout and get going. That way they beat the weeds up and don't get choked out. Worked really well last year.

Got some compost in my raised bed yesterday and picked up a bail of pro mix to make my seedling soil. This week I'll be busting****cleaning up the fly shop and get the lights re hung and get to starting seeds. I'm fairly on course. Ahead of last year ordered heating mats so that should really help that room is pretty drafty being half windows. Even with a space heater running. By next week I should be full tilt running. I'm gonna try getting 10 flats started of peppers and tomatoes. I told all my buddies I'll start a **** ton. Noone deserves to pay homedepot or greenhouse prices. A few small donations should cover the money I put into it. And it will give me a reason to stay in there tying Flys because I procrastinat till the last second. Lol
