How does your garden grow?

Well here is the layout of my garden this year

Garden Plan - 2016: garden

Looks like a good plan, Kev.

Tonight I planted 3 kinds of carrots. Chantenay, Scarlet Nantes and Danver's Half Long. This is my first time growing carrots, so results may vary. I transplanted the Jalapeno and Mini Sweet Peppers into pots and moved them out to my glass covered hole in the ground. Also put the Yellow Pear Tomatoes into cups. Everything is up except the Pruden's Purple, Hungarian Wax and New Mexico Chili's, so it will be going into cups here shortly. Which means I will be out of space shortly. Looks like we will get a frost Saturday morning. I'm hoping it will be the last, but the odds are we will have one in March. I may be digging my hole bigger

Another pretty solid frost this morning. No choice but to put my mobile corn-patch outside though.

Next time I will start them off in separate containers. Getting the roots untangled was a job of work.

Now they are in smaller to-go containers.

I got all the tomato and pepper sprouts into cups.

I bought a 6 pack of Beef Steak tomato plants last week. But they are heirloom, so I can save the seeds from them.

I had planned on putting the Acorn squash and Cilantro into cups also, but there was a couple new AS sprouts this morning, so they get another week or so under the lights.

Last week when I did the shopping, I bought a little package of those Cherub tomatoes {for $3.00}. Today I sliced what was left of them in half, squeezed the seeds out into soil and ate the tomatoes. Also had the first sprout in the Yellow Hungarian Wax this afternoon. This morning I had gave up on the New Mexico Chili's and dumped the soil. Hope I didn't pull the trigger too soon. But they were a week older than the YHW, so if they were going to do anything, they should have done it by now. And the corn was the only thing I had to put outside. I didn't plant anything other than the Cherub tomatoes today. I'm waiting until the 7th and 8th of March, the next good above ground planting days.

Lots of stuff coming up today. The Cherub tomato seeds have only been in the soil a few days, but lots of them popped today. And you can see the Hungarian Wax peppers in the back. 8 of 12 are up so far.

Also a few carrots are up. {I know I'm starting way too late on them, but we will see what happens}

I found my {long lost} package of Pruden's Purple seeds last night. I did 7 seeds in peat moss plugs today. Also did 12 more New Mexico Chili seeds in potting soil. Monday and Tuesday are the next good above ground planting days, but I couldn't wait.

I spread a few bags of shredded paper in last year's corn patch and cut it in this morning. I'll start planting in the morning.

Shredded paper? Please help me understand this Larro.
