Spatz,
I saw a few emerging eggplants and a couple started banging their heads against the plastic bags around the trays, whic retains the moisture and humidity, so I ripped off the bags and put them outside on the north-facing sunny verandah with the toms.

Quite a few more eggplants are emerging now. Some look like wee chillies or peppers, none is sturdy or anything. Many seem to be having trouble shaking their seed casings. Like my seeds were old or very dry.

Maybe I have 10/16 or so varieties, but they are just eggplant tadpoles.

Hot peppers are doing a little better.

Sweet peppers are sound asleep, with only 5/16 or so varieties. And the Jimmy Nardello isn't up. I soooo want this one for stuffing.

As you may or may not know the last two weeks reverted to winter temps up here and only now are we in for warmer weather. So I'm hoping this makes the difference.

Tomorrow... 1/2 day off work for tomato transplants. My developing seedlings are very thirsty and the cells are drying out by day. Need to transplant to be able to get away for the weekend on the boat.

Juggling already
