Another Seedlings update
Remember all my tomato seedlings that got sick and were near dead when I spotted them? I planted few outside - 4 in the containers and about a dozen around new garden and let them decide if they want to survive or not. The rest I kind of left alone - just gave them extra strong fish drink and put them in the enclosed patio and forgot about them. Well apparently they do not want to die off. they're weedy and skinny but they're alive.
And now I'm not sure what to do with them because I already started new batch - labels and all and they're awake and started growing as you can see in picture below. I might put few more into containers on the patio but the rest will be outside of the garden - maybe where I have my flower bed I can fit about 6 of them. Others will be places here and here among flowers around new garden.
One pot that actually been very slow in growing among my seedlings is my basil - it's been painfully slow. My guess it's just not warm enough for it. I'll plant more outside around tomatoes after they go in to the ground and see how they'll take.
And here are my batch of peppers - it's a mix of sweet, banana, jalapeno and habanero peppers. Most of them are sweet and only couple are hot. I think it's a good mix and hope they'll produce this year. They were very slow to start growing but once first set of true leafs came out they took off. So now I look forward to trying new variety in there - Purple Beauty (it's the only one that has tag as others are pretty self explanatory come harvest time ;)
And remember couple of posts back I showed a picture of my hubby's experiment? Well one part of his experiment has baby green beans on it! I can't believe it, but it looks like we'll get to try our own green beans by the end of April!
Now I do hope the rest of his experiments grows nicely too, but I also planted alot more beans and other stuff this weekend. New round of radishes, spinach, carrots and more peas went into the ground. It's going to be one very wet and cold week so I hope all seeds will take off nicely.

Wow, that is a boat load of tomatoes. Hopefully they will produce well for you. All my seedlings are in the ground and now I am just waiting till harvest time.
ReplyDeleteActually I'm only going to count on 30 to be 'production' tomatoes as that's what i'll plang in the large garden. Everything else is extra and if they produce - great, but i won't miss it. I saw yours already in the ground and you even have first squash! I haven't even started seeds for it so need to catch up :)
DeleteWow, thirty tomato plants! What are you going to do with then when they all start to produce. Last year I was inundated from less than a dozen...
ReplyDeleteActually they never produce that many to overwhelm me - I love eating them fresh, making my own marinara, salsa and chilli for winter time (never have enough of it) so I can only hope to have too many tomatoes. And of course there are more than enough people just waiting to take them off my hands if i have extras.
DeleteI am in the same boat as you! My first seeding of tomatoes looked pathetic, so I started some more... and now they are all doing amazing! You can never have enough tomatoes, though, so I can't complain.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is such thing as too many tomatoes - mine always grow big but there are not that many at the same time so it should be ok to handle. And since I have no clue which varieties these are it will be interesting guessing game. The main garden will have new batch that is labeled but these if they make it after transplanting should be fun to watch.
