getting an early start this year

garnetmoth · December 26, 2006

Made some mistakes last year. then the weather was too hot, then.... everything went wonky.

Right now, ive got almost 100% germination on my Clear Pink Earlies that im trialing.

I started too late last year, then was using my lights to try to start peppers (I have a heat source too). Almost all of the tomatoes started outside prompltly fried.

weve got lots of compost to improve the beds, and im going to try to lengthen the raised beds and make better use of my drip irrigation this coming season.

Im almost out of window sill area, but its been so warm, if these seedlings do well, I might try to put them out in cloches.

so yeah. gardening lets you try again so im hoping for a more encouraging season!
