Just a quick update today....it is hard to believe, but the flower flat (pansies, snapdragons), and lettuce flat are now under fluorescent lights in the garage. And it is still January (barely!).
One other amazing observation today - a few of the Asian greens I planted yesterday germinated today - in ONE day. More details to come, as well as what was planted - but next on my planting agenda will be eggplant, tomatillos, and peppers. Target date is February 5.
Quick update on the Dwarf tomato project as well. I just sent seeds to Tomatoville members for their 2011 growing assignments. But the best news is that I've also sent seeds to four seed companies - brand new dwarf varieties from our project, which we expect to be listed in each of their web catalogs very soon.
Once this all becomes final/"official", I will let you know which companies, and which varieties. Note that they will be very, very limited in quantities this year!
Whoops...last item - I made some updates to the 2011 plant list - especially listing the cucumbers, watermelon, and basil I hope to have as seedlings this coming spring!
