I love stuff I can grow in a tray. Seems like the only thing I can grow successfully, to be honest -- everything else is either growing after accidental neglect, better attributed to extremely lucky weather than skill, or a stunted version of what should be a massive plant.

I have two trays of mesclun mix growing really nicely in containers. Most of the winter stuff I put in the ground either didn't come up or didn't thrive. I also have peppers, oregano, thyme, lots of kale, broccoli, a handful of surviving cherry tomato plants. Also a Black and Brown Boar plant and a Green Zebra plant that have survived heat, cold, rain, and parching.

I'm guessing my very poor dirt is the root cause (pun intended) and next season I'm going to lay a LOT of compost down. Fortunately I've been making some!
