From the land of perpetually dirty fingernails...

Things are going very quickly here. In March we started our peppers, red, yellow, pablano, habanero, hungarian hots, intended to go into the straw bales. Plus we had good luck last year with tomatoes in bales so we did more.
These are Roma that’s our big tomato crop. Unfortunately these are hybrid Romas and seed saving would give us …’well we don’t really know’ tomatoes. We have heirloom in the enclosed garden for seed saving.
Kept ‘em separate so we know which are which.

We also decided to experiment with onions and crops like radishes and carrots.
Well, whoppty-do, that is getting done also.




Here are the Hungarian Hot peppers (the tall one) and Habanero. Onions are in the front, right side empty space between onions and Hungarian is for carrots, space between Hungarian and habanero are the radishes.



Tomatoes the tall ones…red peppers in the front. Yellow and Pablano are in the greenhouse. Bare patch of grass is where th old strawberry bed was…needs seed.

1. Yes, indeedy

Looking good!

I decided to start several types of seeds in raised beds this year, the first part of April. I bought them from Baker Seed, the type you can't find anywhere else. They haven't done diddley. Some came up, but they're teensy, so don't know if they'll survive to get transplanted. I ended up going to the local Amish nursery and getting some plants.

Everything else is up from seeds. Some looking better than others. Peppers and lettuce are iffy.

May your's provide a bountiful harvest!

2. March 25th I bought a six pack of Early Girl tomatoes,

moved them to one gallon pots and they were 2 feet tall and lots of blooms on them when I planted them in the garden bed last week.
