Sunday was warm enough to move my seedlings from porch to pots. They spent their first night outdoors in the rain and look happier than ever today.
Planted a week or so ago and now sprouting:
- lots of sweet basil
- mesclun lettuce mix
- spinach.
Newly planted in the big pots:
- peas
- carrots
- beets
- radishes.
Newly planted in the smaller planters:
- 2 dill
- 3 parsley and 1 lemon basil with last year’s chives
- 5 hot nosegay peppers
- 6 eggplant
- 7 scotia tomatoes
- 10 sweet banana peppers.
If the crops are plenty, you will have to learn how to can tomatoes etc to use in the winter.
I have no idea what canning entails. Eric is hoping for salsa. Hopefully we’ll have lots of peppers, too. And what do I do with eggplant?
Oh the beets are up already!
