More Seeds

 We ordered more seeds.

The peppers didn't do great on the

first planting.

Pretty sure it was a combo of using

the wrong dirt.

And, I kind of drowned them.

Kind of.

Ok, totally.

Whatever.

We were able to salvage some,

but decided to order more seeds and

just start over.

But then we also needed another

shelf and more lights.

I ordered the lights and Rod put up

more shelves (from the barn in FL).

The lights came yesterday, but I had

to teach so by the time they arrived

I didn't have time.

So that's what we did TODAY.

Rod got the lights all set up,

and I seeded 36 Rainbow peppers,

36 Gypsy peppers,

and 72 Aconcagua (giant red) peppers.

Ok little guys.

GROW!

Meanwhile the romas I planted last week

(or so) are all germinated and some

are starting to get their true leaves.

The chives are doing what they do.

(grow S L O W L Y)

And the tomatoes are looking pretty good.

I need to figure out another tray to put

them in and then I'll probably pot up

the best of the first round of peppers

and see how they do.

I'm NOT the green thumb in this family.

But I'm having fun.

Looks like we have 2 more nights below

freezing in the next 2 weeks and then

we might be able to get the tomatoes outside.

Maybe by the last week of March or

the first week of April.

We'll keep an eye on the forecast and

see how it goes.

We'd like to get them in the ground

earlier than last year.

We felt like we were BEHIND last year....
