March 6th - March 8th
I don't know how the hell I could have done this but after up potting the Waltham Broccoli I thought they looked like cabbage. A few days later and I'm almost 100% sure it is Bok Choy. I somehow planted two flats of Bok Choy, so I went back and counted the seeds in the packet and the numbers are consistent with me planting both the Bok Choy and the Waltham broccoli. Although it's too late to start broccoli, I planted 6 more cells of the Broccoli to see if I screwed up, or the seeds are mis-labeled. I'm either gonna be Peeved at Seeds Now or peeved at myself, so either way I'm gonna be peeved!
I have been getting a bit frustrated with this years seeds, nothing sprouted from the, Acongua pepper, Red Marconi, Tabasco, California Wonder or the Poblano, 3/10 will have been two weeks. I'm not too concerned if the Acongua or Red Marconi do not germinate. My concerns are the California Wonder and Poblano, I love these two peppers, these were planted from saved seeds. I'm doing a germination test using saved seeds for the Poblano and saved seeds and packet seeds for the California wonders 3/8/18. The Black Beauty and Fengyuan Eggplan will be one week 3/8. Black Beauty was planted from saved seeds and the Fengyuan from Packet seeds. I'm not too concerned with the Fengyuan but I'm doing a germination test using saved seeds and packet seeds on the Black Beauty 3/8/18. Nothing from my saved Licorice Basil either. Little disappointed in my Leeks also, the leeks had maybe 3 sprouts in each pot so out of frustration I ended up dumping the whole packet in the 4" pots. I lost 6 of my Bok Choy in the small starter trays, they should have been uppotted, these plants suck up a bit more water and the cells are just too small to hold enough soil and water for them. March 9th - March 11th I broadcast seeded some Poblano and California Wonders in 4" pots. 3/9

March 12th - March 15th
I had a Tabasco pop the other day, Yippee! I dumped all of my Black Beauty Seeds and California Wonder seeds that were in the germination towels into 4" pots, we will see Nothing from my Poblanos yet Stopped at Home depot and picked up some potting mix that luckily increased in price a few dollars since my earlier purchase, yippee again I also decided at the last minute to plant some cantaloupe in place of the watermelon this year, dammit, stay out of the seed aisle at HD, Well I am going to stop after work today and grab some poblano seeds.
March 16th - March 18th
Started my tomatoes Saturday, I am trying something different this year with my tomato seedlings, cells are filled with potting mix, mix is moistened, seeds are laid on top of the potting mix, seeds are covered with vermiculite and moistened with a spray bottle.Water is added to the tray. I did pretty good not overplanting the tomatoes this year.

You might be surprised, bok choy and broccoli might be fine under the snow... I hope so!
Bok choy is the easiest thing to bolt when you don't want it to. Mine indoors were super thirsty too, and I could see the pots were just full of roots... then they bolted. But they were still good, I ate the whole thing as soon as I caught them bolting and the stems were still tender top to bottom. Yu Choy Sum I'm really liking growing in pots! They like to be crowded, and when they bolt it means they're ready to eat . I stuck the 'eaten' pots out in the greenhouse and they are coming again for a second round... can't knock that. I have yet to see whether the Bok will regrow, as i saw on you tube.. it is possible. |

I Sent them this letter; I wanted to drop you a line and emphasize my disappointment in your company. In January I ordered Bok Choy, Waltham Broccoli, Red Acre Cabbage and Gardeners Delight tomato seeds. Germination was great, however, the Broccoli I planted was not Broccoli it was Bok Choy, thinking I somehow messed up, I planted another flat of Broccoli, guess what ? More Bok Choy, I am very disappointed that I lost a year of Broccoli. I will no longer purchase from your company. Sincerely yours Disappointed customer I ordered some supplies from Drip Depot to tweak my irrigation system.
I also noticed some of the soil almost completely dry on a few of the plants, I was a bit confused, because I have been on top of the watering. After closer inspection it turns out that I did not finish last years task of putting holes in the bottoms of the cups, this could have been disastrous if not caught before this weekend because I asked the wife to bottom water the plants while I was away. I am leaving Thursday morning and won't be back until Sunday afternoon. This weekend will be a wash, I'll be canoeing Camping on the Delaware River. |
