Spring is finally coming! This weekend we spent some time outside in the yard trimming trees and shrubs around the yard starting the ramp up for summer. I'm getting really anxious to get into the garden. My tulips and crocuses I planted in my front flower beds are already about an inch above the soil, and I suspect that this week they will really go for it with the temperatures being high with lows above freezing.
My peppers are coming along really well, and only one or two seeds didn't sprout. Here are a few pictures of how they are doing:
The tray on the left is all the Northern Hybrid green pepper, and the tray on right is Mucho Nacho Jalapeno (top row) and Mohawk yellow pepper (bottom row).
They are doing really well and I have started to fertilize them bi-weekly with liquid seaweed and 10-52-17 at half strength. This mix was suggested to encourage strong root growth.
I also planted my cool wave pansy seeds and some left over petunia seeds I had for a total of 36 small cells. I also filled an old berry container with soil and planted petunias throughout. If a lot of the seeds sprout I will separate them as they start to crowd.
No sign of sprouting from the Basil or Tomato seeds just yet. they should start to sprout this week hopefully.
