Seed starting update

Here’s the latest shot of the seed rack, considerably more full than last time!

Bottom shelf, left side:

the grape vines I bought at Eco Farm Day, two of which are sprouting very nicely, and I have hopes for the third

a small pot of sage from seeds that I saved from the sage plant in the backyard at Hamilton, just starting to come up

a pot of hot peppers, no signs of life there yet

Bottom shelf, right side:

Brussels sprouts, just starting to come up

Carlton tomatoes (an early salad/slicing tomato), sprouting nicely

sweet bell peppers, not up yet – I’m starting to worry a little about the peppers, but if the tomatoes are warm enough the sprout, the peppers should be too, I hope

Isis candy tomatoes (cherry type, for fun and snacking as I garden), sprouting nicely

Middle shelf, left side:

parsley, coming along well

Middle shelf, right side:

leeks, coming along well

Top shelf, left side:

Amish paste tomatoes, sprouting nicely – lots and lots of them, for next winter’s canning

Top shelf, right side:

Brandywine tomatoes, sprouting nicely – from seed that I saved last year, because you can’t have a homestead garden without Brandywines!

 

I’ll be starting the seeds in the melon and squash families (including cucumbers, zucchini, and ) next week sometime.
