How does your garden grow?

[RalphVa]

I've built some frames over my raised beds to put Remay onto. Unfortunately, not soon enough to save my peas, cauliflower and mustard. Maybe the carrots will keep going. Couldn't fine any Remay at Lowes or Home Depot. May order it from Gardeners Supply online.

I'm aiming for a few plants to keep under the lights for about a month, then another month in the greenhouse. They won't be going into the ground until the middle of March. We are having big, white frosts every morning here.

Didn't get any seeds planted today, but I did get my 6 Jalapeno sprouts transplanted into cups. I have 5 Mini Sweet Pepper sprouts that are about a week behind.

I bought a pack of J E Parker New Mexico Chili Pepper seeds today. I grew them two years ago and they are my favorite chili pepper. Mild enough you can eat lots of them. Also picked up a pack of yellow pear tomato seeds. Never grew them before. There were lots to choose from, but after the cheap seeds at Dolar Tree, it is hard to pay full price for seeds.

We will definitely have to do bells and Jalapeno's again this year in the greenhouse. We had a bumper crop last year, leaving them in the greenhouse and not transplanting outside.

Hoping for an early spring

Here we are with five inches of cold rain last night, temperatures dropping and ice and flurries tonight. Some areas north of here will have a little snow. Hope my grandkids can enjoy some sledding.

Meanwhile my little indoor seed starting station is producing. These tomatoes are hoping for an early spring, or some timely up-potting until time to go outdoors. Also, you can see some rattlesnake bean sprouts that I tested for germination. Looks like these seed are good and ready to go.



On another note, this guy welcomed me home recently:

Looking good, including the buck. But when he comes back around in the summer and eats your veggies, he won't be so pretty

I kind of have a late spring feeling in my bones. Hope I'm wrong. All I have up is five Mini Sweet Peppers and six Jalapenos. Yesterday and today were good planting days, but I didn't get any seeds in dirt. There will be more good days just around the bend. I don't have much room under the lights or in the greenhouse, so I'm holding off a while longer.

I don't get out to the greenhouse often enough. These peppers were a few days past their prime. My Pruden's Purple tomatoes are about played out. I never got the young ones in bigger pots and the older ones died after the tomatoes on them when I moved them to the greenhouse got ripe. I have one Better Boy planted in the ground that is still making a few tomatoes along.

Looking good, Larro... not really past prime just not as pretty. Great for cooking!

Yesterday Bad Word and I picked a mess of collards. They were good.

Google maps just updated their pictures. You can see I had started digging the trench for the peppers and tomatoes in the northeast corner, but they were still in their swimming pools. I have a picture of them in the trench on November 8th, so it was taking a couple of days before that.
