Oh yeah!

I’m counting backwards from our 4H fair for planting my giant pumpkins. 120 days from August 18th is late April. A bit too early to plant outside in Jersey, but we start everything inside under grow lights.

Nice!

All of my peppers have come up except for the dang habaneros. The Apocalypse Scorpion and Bhut Jolokia are up and thriving, but no Habs... hrm.

I don't think the daffodils are going to be early this year as in previous years,but we'll see.

Well I will end up wrong on this,after a very warm first 10-12 days of February(60s,70s) daffodils are up and starting to bloom.

Little early again lol.

This fucking cold is bad. Usually by late Feb things are almost feeling like winter is ending.

But not this week.

Stay warm people. And keep your plants warm too!

Seriously though, the Habs aren't coming up and it's pissing me off a bit.. I'll give them four more days, then trying new seed.

Doing more peppers besides bell this year. What's a good mild flavored one to start with?

Daughter wants different peppers. She though ghost was funny, told her it is until you eat one.

Serrano would be a gentle step up from Jalapeños.
Fish peppers are pretty and a step up from there.

Some of my pumpkin and sunflower seeds arrive from Johnny’s seeds yesterday.

I’m tempted to start a few, especially those that need 120 days to grow…

These are my wild petunias which I originally sowed in a milk carton. I got excited when they sprouted and then proceeded to drown them. I migrated them to this oversized juice bottle this morning and I’m just hoping their roots survived the flood and transfer.

Spring is coming!

Wow!!

Last year was an amazing year for me with starting plants, their growth rates, and then the actual growing season. I'm having trouble not getting discouraged with the slow growth of my babies this year. They are growing and this isn't a race (is what I keep telling myself), but it's a little hard not to hurumph about it. Anyone else feel like?

A new leaf mutation in a pepper cross that I've been babying. Considering what it was planted next to last year, this is a Jay's Pink Black x Habanero x Fish pepper. I'm excited to see what the fruit and overall plant shape looks like this year!
