Gardened Progress and Belated Seed Swap

Let's talk about the seed swap first. I did two virtual ones. The first one went off without a hitch, the second, not so much. But, I got an awesome seed haul. The host didn't account for how flakey people can be and designed in a way where everyone had to actually do there part,...See more

Squirrels

A garden menace. Those tulips in the middle of my raised bed, any guess as to who planted them? Because it sure wasn't me. And at the base of my trellis do you see the little wasteland zone where my peas are supposed to be growing? I mean, I have long accepted that I have to pay some degree of nature tax but this is ridiculous. I planted peas EVERYWHERE and I can't find ONE peashoot. Not one. Can I evict the squirrels?

Just getting my seeds started indoors and still nervous that it might be too cold when they have to be transplanted. But the soil smells great and it's nice to see things popping up! Roma tomatoes, bush beans, basil, peppers, and a big tall tomato plant peeking over the top shelf in the background. #gardening

Garlic is Up

And apparently my pinky was up when taking the picture 🤣 Don't have a good explanation for that. Planted arugula in the bed its the garlic. Figured they are unlikely to bother each other much. Also got my allium starts in. Onions, shallots and leeks.

Pepper Update

Look at all those seedlings. I think there are near 50 of them and probably 14 varieties. There are two odd peppers in the batch. One is in the foreground on the right, you can see it is a tricotyledon instead of a typical dicotyledon. Not an extremely rare mutation, but definitely a mutant. Then in the back left you can see the really pale seedling. I'm not sure if it even has chlorophyll, which obviously if it doesn't, it will die, but I'm waiting to see what the first true leaves look like.

Peppers

Apparently, my peppers heard me talking about them being slow and how the tomatoes I just planted would beat them to sprout. They did not appreciate the insult, but I do appreciate them showing up.
