#VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
And now, all the seedlings I have growing: Candy Cane, Hamik, Jimmy Nardello, Sweet Savor, The Groundfather, Chervena Chushka, Tequila Sunrise, King of the North -
#VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
I've also ordered 4 more plants from Burpees - 3 varieties I ordered from them last year as well: Costa Rican, Thunderbolt, & Corno di Toro. The 4th is Banana Boom. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
The only two peppers with the slightest heat are a Burpees Poblano named 'Big Boss Man' (ordered as a plant not from seed) and this habañero from Territorial seeds 'Mild Thing'. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
Ok I have planned for 4 "Not hot" peppers this year (1 is in question): Habanada, Nadapeño, Sweet Cayenne and (the one seedling that is struggling) Sweet Bonnet.
#VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
Determinate varieties I'm growing to share or just to try because I still enjoy trying new varieties: Tasmanian Chocolate, Sub Artic, Oregon Spring & Plum Regal. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
Micro dwarves are: Tiny Tim, Red Velvet & Cocoa. These go in an original pocket in my Greenstalk for visitors who turn 6 & 4 this year to pick ❤️
#VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
Indeterminate tomatoes: Chocolate Cherokee, Chocolate Sprinkles, Darkstar, Paul Robeson & two Super Sauce (from Burpees). In 5 years of experimenting I learned the flavor profile I prefer is the Chocolate tomatoes. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A
I have 6 spots in my raised bed for indeterminate tomatoes & when checking what I have this year? I have 6 varieties of indeterminate tomatoes! The rest are micro dwarves or determinates! (For Greenstalks & whiskey barrel planters)

Is 26 varieties of peppers (with no hot ones) too many for one backyard gardener? Asking for a friend that is absolutely me. 🤣

All my poor sad onion and leek seedlings. Next year a grow light for sure will be added to my setup.

Ok, all the pepper seedlings. Up potted the second sowing today into solo cups - the third sowing is still in the one water jug. Some of the tinier seedlings I've left two together in one cup.
#VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #SeedStarting
So far of the pepper seeds I started in Feb (2 seeds each of variety), I have 2 plants for 9/12. 1 plant for 2/12. And the sweet Bonnets I had to try again.

The Naproxen got a run for its money today as my daughter and I got the garden ready for the first weekend of May planting date.

Omg😍 yesterday's meal prep, I made,chicken burrito 🌯 bowls for the first time, they were delicious 😋
Sadly 😥 I only have a half pint of my homemade salsa left.
I haven't bought salsa since last Nov🤣that's another reason why I want a lot of 🍅 🌰 😂my Tex-Mex & Mr Mann's Italian
#Vegetablegardening
Yesterday, Mr Mann asked old Black man at feed store about snakes & he told him 📸
I know this, old Black people can't often tell you how they know something works😂I'm talking older than me😆but it does.
This morning, the yng old me asked Google & I've already sliced 15 bars
#Vegetablegardening
Oh before I go, I had the opportunity this morning to hand pollinate 2 butterneck squashes, seeds from migardener. They're like a cross between butternut and tromboncino. I'm going to see how big i can get them to grow. #Vegetablegardening
modest Saturday morning
Already have a gallon bag of green beans for later #canning so these will go on next week lunch prep menu 😋 🥕 shallots, zucchini & green beans
#Vegetablegardening
This is the year I learned basil seeds need to be surface sown as they require light to germinate. So this year for the first time ever I got basil seeds to reliably germinate! Excited to try the cardinal basil! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
I am now vindicated in my obsessive hoarding of #ShakespearesCups (IYKYK) - perfect for bottom watering all my seedlings in solo cups!

Pepper plant with a thingy. No I don’t know what it is but it wasn’t there before! Maybe it turns into a flower eventually?
Pepper plant has a new little thingy on it. Definitely much improved from when I thought it was probably going to die. 😅

So in an attempt to be reasonable, I gave away three of the four eggplant seedlings I had - since I only planned and need 1 (I don't eat, it's for my kid). I'm going to need to do that with my pepper plants too, but that is gonna HURT #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
Today I got two different sets of tomato seeds from two different awesome ladies. :) #VegetableGardening <3
