May 19, 2016 - Garden is Planted

The garden finally was planted today.  I have been hardening off the plants for over a week now during the unusually cool May.  Sunday and Monday nights were down to the upper 30s so I had to wait out the last cold night.

In addition to the seeds I purchased several plants from Zerns market in Boyertown.  They were so cheap it was hard to resist.

In all my garden this year contains:

18 pepper plants:
- 4 Cherry Peppers
- 4 Italian Roasters
- 4 Bell Peppers
- 2 Cheyenne
- 3 Hot Wax
- 1 Hungarian Wax

8 tomatoes:
- 4 Polverini  Ox Hearts
- 1 Black krim
- 1 Golden Yellow
- 1 Orange
- 1 Cherry

2 Cucumber
1 Zucchini
1 Yellow squash
3 Doc Marten Lima Beans
3 Green Beans

April 24, 2016 - Bigger Pots

I spent some time today transferring the tomatoes from their original 4" flats to individual 6" pots.  They desperately needed some more space, and hopefully this will works for the last few weeks indoors.

A few of the plants even have flowers starting alread!

April 9, 2016 Tomato Update

I'm not sure why the basil is starting to get brown on the lowest leaves, but I'm getting concerned as most of the basil has this and seems stunted.

I may also have to repot the tomatoes soon. They are getting big and with the snow today they are not getting planted into the garden any time soon.

March 10, 2016 - Sprouting Update

All but one of the Polverini Tomatoes have germinated, 35 out of 36 isn't bad!

March 5, 2016 Tomato Sprouts

The first of the tomatoes have sprouted. One or two with leaves open and a few more just starting to bream out of the soil.

March 3, 2016 Basil Sprouts

The first plugs of basil have sprouted.  I've moved the grow light over the table and have it on a 12 hour cycle.  I'm a little worried that I put them in prematurely...

Nothing yet for the tomatoes or peppers.
