There is a lot growing on in my office, under the lights in my garage, and now, outside in large pots. And I've not even planted my first tomato seed yet! (well, not quite accurate...I did plant some Mexico Midget seeds in the first flat, since they are so slow and stubborn to germinate!).
But....this is what was planted in my second vegetable flat over the weekend: Eggplants Antiguan, Casper, Early Green Giant, Italian Pink Bicolor, Listada di Gandia, Louisiana Long Green, New York Improved, Speedy, Rosa Bianca, and Rosita
Tomatilloes: De Milpa, Toma Verde, Purple and Cisneros
Hot Peppers: Ancho, Bulgarian Carrot, Facing Heaven, Golden Cayenne, Kung Pao, Malu Miris, NuMex Heritage, Peter and Thai Dragon
Sweet Peppers: all of those on my 2011 Seedlings list (see the tab at the upper right) - 27 different varieties
And, in another flat - a flower and herb flat - I planted:
Flowers: Four different types of Hibiscus - yellow, white, red flowered and a mystery variety; four types of Zinnias, two types of Dahlias, two Cosmos, a Marigold.
Herbs: Cilantro, Parsley, Sesame, and nine types of Basil.
Germination in the initial eggplant/hot pepper flat is proceeding well - I will provide an update in my next blog entry.
Outside, today, I planted three types of radishes - one each, in large (5 gallon) pots. The last two years, my radishes (planted in the large garden) were a disaster - nice, big tops, but for the most part, no root development at all. Let's see what happens when they are grown in containers!
Next garden tasks - which I need to get to really soon! - transplanting lettuce and greens...they are getting big (I will take some pics tomorrow and post them).
I hope people's garden plans and preparations are going well!
