\"Getting
Getting things started<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As mentioned in the previous entry, I am getting caught up – or attempting to anyway. So this is from early to late spring. I’m not going to bother “faking” the date although after it’s said and done, I might decide to.<\/p>\n

I didn’t buy any transplants this year as I successfully grew everything in the greenhouse. I am going to buy a couple things that were either less successful or were since eaten by the AH animals.<\/p>\n

Like last year, I used seeds from “Red Fresno” peppers that I saved from the grocery store.<\/p>\n

\"Grew
Grew “Farmstand” and “Best Boy”. Both hybrids.<\/span><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The plants were\u00a0very prolific last year…I mean almost Gilligan’s Island radioactive prolific\u00a0 (if you ever saw that episode). Last year I didn’t get many Jalapenos so I used these for the pickled sliced peppers. They’re nice in my salads, hot but not as hot as Jalapeno. I also have Jalapeno’s of course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"I
I bought a small electric heater which helped keep the<\/em><\/span>
seedlings alive, but you need heat to get them to sprout\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/em>first place. Anyway, using the greenhouse growing\u00a0definitely\u00a0<\/em>has\u00a0a learning curve. So I got the seeds started indoors,\u00a0then\u00a0<\/em>moved them to the greenhouse and when they were\u00a0big and\u00a0<\/em>strong enough I transplanted them into individual pots.<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"In
In the foreground, some Egyptian\u00a0<\/em>Onions. Been harvesting them and\u00a0<\/em>the lettuce for my salads (as well<\/em><\/span>
as store-bought Romaine lettuce).<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u00a0I also grew California Wonder, Cayenne and Habanero. Like last year, the Habanero and Cayenne’s\u00a0are not doing well, and I might buy replacements if they can still be found. The Jalapenos and CW’s are doing very well.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For tomatoes, I planted Farmstand<\/i>\u00a0and Best Boy<\/i>, both hybrids. They are doing good so far.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also from saved\u00a0seeds\u00a0(harvested, not saved from last years purchases. \ud83d\ude09 ) I grew some Asparagus, Marigolds (of course), the Habanero and Cayenne peppers, Echinacea, Lettuce (Black Seeded Simpson),,,and I believe that’s it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\"I
I had saved seeds from an unidentified lettuce. The seeds<\/em><\/span>are black and most lettuce seeds I’ve seen are white so I\u00a0<\/em><\/span>am guessing that these are Black Seeded Simpson. \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
