Fire up the Garden
Kind of domestic but we've been working on a garden the last month or so. Check out our setup... the garden without snow (green house is off to the left):
Here are our glorious little baby plants. Let's see, we've gone whole hog on this like 3 or 4 kinds of tomatoes, green peppers, zucchini, cucumber, summer squash, a boat load of pumpkins(!), cabbage, and celery started. For outside we've got the snow peas, sugar peas, and regular peas. Tomorrow we're going to start outside the carrots, lettuce, spinach, kale, scallions, and collards. How crazy is that. The tall stuff in this picture are our pumpkins. They're already like 8" tall.
Here's tomatoes on the right and on the left are the zucchini, cucumber, and summer squash.
I thought I killed them off at the beginning but after learning a bit about proper grow light use we're back in business and they're growing like gangbusters. I just repotted a cucumber today and the root system ran all throughout the pot it was in. Unbelievable! So, thinks are looking good for a summer of vegetables. Maybe just found strawberries and rasberries outside today. Cross our fingers anyway.
