Let the Planting Begin!

Today I planted about 20 each of:
    Beni Highland (Peppermania)
    Fatalli (Peppermania)
    Goat (IA SSE HF)
    Tobasco (Peppermania)
   
And a lot (sprinkled .. not sure on numbers) of:
    Trinidad Seasoning
    Maya Red Habanero
   
This is the earliest by far that I've ever planted peppers. We'll see how that impacts them later on.

There are 10' free at the end of the bed which will probably get shallots.

Updates and more planting

Updates: Lots of sun gold seeds are up, the 6-8 Arledge seedlings are looking good and there's 2 or 3 Trinidad Scorpions poking through.

Today I planted 3 tomato crosses from Chris Makik:

• Dora x (unknown)
• Sugary x Prudens
• Jolly x Prudens

I did a pinch of seeds each in a 4x6" pot. I don't know how many there were but if I don't get enough seedlings I can always plant more.

I also planted 4 types of greens:

• Little Gem Pearl from Thompson & Morgan
• Buttercrunch from Harts
• Dazzle from Thompson & Morgan
• Continental Salad Blend from Taste of Italy (T&M)

The seed is from 2010 so I heavily overseeded. If they germinate well, I'm going to have thousands of plants to eat as microgreens or feed to guinea pigs :-)

Lastly I planted two types of kale:

• Russian Red
• Lacinato (Dinosaur)

I remembered after the fact that I also have Siberian kale that I wanted to try but am out of potting mix.

Peppers Round 3

The peppers I planted Feb 13 are mostly doing well despite the fact that the heat mat flipped out and kept them at around 97 for what I can only assume was a week. When I finally noticed that they were super warm I turned it way down and everything sprouted in a few days. That'll teach me not to assume I don't need a thermostat!

I planted 8 Trinidad Scorpion seeds (from PA KR C2 at some point) and a pinch of Arledge seeds (from ME LE A) today. Also stuck a few grape cuttings from a wild vine at work in some 1ga pots on the heat mat to see what happened.
