Rainy Days and Peppers, Etc.

GoDawgs · March 4, 2020

It’s Day 3 of a four day stretch of rain. Another 1-2" possible today. At least the worst of it will pass south of us. Goodloe, got your water wings on and a canoe handy?

BUT...It's "Start The Peppers, Eggplant and Roselle Day"!

First I had to move some stuff outside to the porch to make room under the lights so out went the 20 asparagus seedlings and two kinds of scallions. Also on the table are two dormant cannas and one potted camellia, both awaiting planting.

Then the following were started:

Pepper, Ancho
Pepper, Biquinho
Pepper, Carolina Wonder - nematode resistant bell
Pepper, Charleston Belle - nematode resistant bell
Pepper, Gypsy
Pepper, Jalapeno M
Pepper, Mucho Nacho
Pepper, Maule's Red Hot Cayenne
Pepper, Red Marconi
Eggplant, Millionaire
St. Kitts & Nevis Roselle - darker red than the Thai red I tried last year
Thai Red Roselle - Growing again to compare to St. K&N

Meanwhile the first round of broccoli, cabbage, collards and kale are more than ready to be planted out when the beds finally dry out a bit. I might have to put some in buckets as they're close to being rootbound.
