Getting Seedy

Well, it is time to start planting. Very balmy 22 degrees F outside, but in the greenhouse, mid-afternoon in the sun, it was 55 yesterday. A little frozen/heaved dirt by the door, some ice in the 30 gallon cans by the door, but early spring weeds starting to bloom everywhere else. Had to weed my garden in February!!

Started 2 sampler trays on the heat mats. Dated them the 11th - gramps is living in the past some days. Six each of ghost, habanero, yellow chili, alma, wax, jalapeno, rutgers, saucy lady, mexican midgets, Campbell 33, golden acre cabbage, and roma. Some of those will be potted for container gardening, some will go into the hydro system, all should be ready to go out in the greenhouse by mid-March.

We will see what the germination rate turns out to be since some of that was old seed.
