Yesterday after I got the wool going I planted 3 packs of pepper seeds.
This year I’m growing Jimmy’s {the BEST sweet red pepper variety in my opinion} jalapeños and Aji cachucha {a new one for me}.
Starting peppers indoors under lights is a must in my area. I’ve found that starting pepper seeds in early March and planting them outside towards the end of May seem to work best here in Southern Maine.
Fingers crossed that by next week’s garden update, they’ll be popping through the soil.
Check out the lavender plants I started from seed!
And the chive plants too! Holy cow man. They are doing AH-SOME.
Side note: How much do you think is a fair price for a chive plant in a Solo cup being sold along side the road {in front of someone’s house}.
I’m thinking $2 each is reasonable, don’t you?
I won’t know how many extra I’ll have until it’s planting time but I might make enough to buy a honey ham if I play my cards right. 😉
Do you think it’s possible to be good at outdoor gardening but rubbish when it comes to indoor plants? I don’t want to say I’m a bad indoor gardener, but when it comes to houseplants… they’re not my strong suit.
Anything to do with seed starting, garden vegetables, flowers etc. grown OUTSIDE… I feel like I’ve got the greenest thumb on the planet. But indoor plants? About the only thing I’m good at taking care of is orchids.
And I strongly believe it’s because all an orchid needs is 1 ice cube a week. Which is pretty easy to remember.
Well, that’s what’s happening around here. It’s supposed to be sunny and 55 here today. I think I’ll bust out the bike and go for a ride {before it snows again}. 😉
What’s new in YOUR garden? Curious minds want to know.
Peace Out.
