2012 Season - March 19

Ok - so I started my seeds the first of March.  I started tomatoes (pomadoro, Green and Red German, yellow and I think a black Krim), peppers (Jalapeno, Anaheim, red and green), broccoli and cauliflower.  I also started some Penstemons, Cosmos, Zinnias, Marigolds, Snapdragons and a couple of mystery seeds I got from my mom.


I was able to transplant the seedlings this past weekend (ST. Patrick's Day) into peat pots.  They are sitting in my light stand in the sun room.  I also started my eggplant seeds.


The plan is to have about 20 tomato plants, 15 pepper plants, 5 each of broccoli and cauliflower.


My garlic that I planted in the fall is growing.  I planted 2 rows but only 1 came up.  I am thinking an animal my have something to do with my missing bulbs. 


Jeremy took down Isabella's playhouse since she has outgrown it and we will be converting that space into a pepper garden.  I have some research to do - trying to find out what kind of soil pepper plants like.  My goal this year is to get a good crop of peppers.  Last year was pathetic...


It has been warm (70 degree weather) this past week and my spinach and arugula is taking off.  I need to plant more in my lettuce garden so I have some greens next month.


I will take pictures this weekend and post.
