Working out(side)

 So yesterday I planted the rest of the 25 pea plants:

The three far bins have the spinach planted.  I need to add radishes to that (which may get done today).

And Roy, with dreams of getting rich selling cherry tomatoes at the farmer's market, has built these planters.

They do look nice.  To even out the yard, we're moving my big cement block planter.  Of course, it should be already planted with carrots, beets and lettuce.  I hope to have it back together tomorrow.

Oh, and here are my tomato and pepper plants at this time:

None of the full-size peppers have grown.  But the new tomato and pepper seeds I started nine days ago were germinated and ready to put in the starter trays.  The tomatoes have leaves, the peppers just a root.

Keeping up

Yesterday I finished planting out the 25 peas, and direct-seeded spinach in front in three of the boxes.

Tomatoes

Much to my surprise, the tomato seeds have germinated.  I have planted three each into the AeroGarden starter tray: Sweet 100s, yellow pear, red roma and yellow roma.  I intend to cultivate two each into the planters.  That's an awful lot of tomato plants, but none of the tomatoes are big, which we just really don't eat.

Well, none of the yellow pear had germinated.  I planted them anyway, and started new ones in case they didn't take.

I also started alfalfa seeds in the large square sprout tray.

Peas

I have planted out 15 of the expected 25 peas.

Alaska:

These plants have started up taller than the other varieties, although planted at the same time.  Of the six I started, exactly 5 survived.

Organic Progressive:

All twelve of these that I started have survived.  I've planted 5, and may add more to the fifth box.

Black-seeded Early:

These aren't any earlier to grow; whether they produce sooner remains to be seen.  Of the twelve I started, I have only seven and have planted 5.  I meant to have two complete boxes of them, but that isn't happening.

I haven't planted out the Veggie Tales Alaskas yet, but besides being older seeds which aren't germinating as well, I so far see no difference from the other Alaska peas.

Seedlings

These were planted this month (March).  They will be well ready to put out when the weather permits.

This is just a portion of it, but there are four breeds of tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach.

Vegetables

The spinach isn't doing well, and needs to be replanted.  The bell peppers never sprouted at all.  I need to try them in the sprouter (which has not worked for the spinach).

Herbs

The annoying background is tinfoil, which is needed to reflect as much light as possible.

There are 6 kinds of herbs here: garlic chives, coriander, lemon mint, rosemary, savory and thyme.

I think it's probably time to start flowers.
