Yesterday was a huge day in the area of gardening around here.  I up potted all of my tomato plants. This is the first time I have ever felt the need to do this and hopefully it will be huge boost.  We also moved all the peppers and tomato plants out to the greenhouse. I did check on everything this afternoon and so far, so good.   I just checked the weather and hopefully we will be able to keep everything alive and it will grow grow grow.

I have not had any germination on the snap peas I planted about two weeks ago, however we have been having a swing in temperatures from 80 to 30 in a 24-hour period.  Once the weather starts to even out things should get better. Our last predicted frost date is April 20th, but we usually have at least one night of frost in May. I am going to wait until the first of May and then decided when to plant things.

I was excited to find that a couple of garlic plants have started. This is a totally new thing for me so anything is more than I have ever had.  I planted the broccoli outside  and lost two plants in the process.

Current Plant Total
15 lunch box peppers (one additional sprout)
2 wax peppers
16 bell peppers (10 of the 12 I started germinated)
21 Roma tomatoes (plus1)
14 Slicing tomatoes (plus 2)
3 cherry tomato (plus 1)
5 Cherokee Purple Tomato (plus one)

My goal is to post again in 2 weeks so we can compare to see what has survived in the greenhouse!

I realized that I need to do a better job with keeping up with updates on the garden. The main reason is the information it provides is so useful for planning.  I spent an hour or so reviewing all the information from the past several years and have a better idea of what I want to do moving forward.

This year we have started spinach outside probably 3 weeks ago. It finally started to sprout

My thoughts are that they will likely not produce as it will be too warm soon. But I have a guide that says 55 days are what is required until harvest, this would be at the end of April which could be cool or could be in the 90s.  I am going to remain hopeful and hope to plant again in the fall.

I was able to get outside and plant around 30 snap peas in the front bed, so we shall see how well they produce.  I have a table of seedlings in the living room!

The broccoli plants (9) were placed outside today to start the hardening off process. I would like to plant these outside next Saturday.

We currently have
14 lunch box pepper (I soaked these seeds prior to planting which I think is the difference)
2 wax peppers (specifically for salsa)
6 bell peppers (this is the 2 week point)   I am planning to soak a second batch of 12 bell peppers to start as well.
20 Roma tomato
12 Slicing Tomato
2 cherry tomato
4 Cherokee Purple tomato

I have planted 6 Garlic bulbs and we have about 20 onions currently growing as well.
