Still planting out

squirrelitudeToday I managed to plant out some excess seedlings into a large canvas grow bag an upstairs neighbor left behind when he moved out, filled with half-finished compost mixed with the contents of his old worm bin. Hollyhock, tomatillo, tomato, shiso... most of them should take off like a rocket. I threw in some bok choy seeds as well. The whole thing is up on a sort of raft of dead branches, which should help keep roots from growing out through the bottom.
A neighbor across the street accepted 4 tomatillos and 3 sunflowers, and I even managed to foist some tomatoes and tomatillos off onto some people who had done nothing more than make the mistake of walking past my yard and admiring some plants. :-)
(The asparagus I have growing in an old blue city recycling bin have been getting a great deal of admiration, and indeed they are surprisingly tall at nearly 6 ft -- perhaps in part because they're not in full sun, but still.)
I think at this point I should be prioritizing repotting into larger containers, since the seedlings are pretty heavily rootbound at this point.
(If you want a tomatillo I still have about 8 to get rid of, as well as a few each of sunflower, Tithonia, shiso, and tomato. So if you live around here and want one, let me know!)
