“Next week I will start half a flat of Sweet peas.”

I want pea pods for stir fry dishes. Around March 1, I will start Masterpiece Peas, Snowbird Peas, and Peas in a Pot, all seeds, under the grow lamp. Based on which produce the best for stir fry pods, will use that one in the future.

Most of what I plant this spring is multiple types of the same veggie to determine which I will use for the future. Numbers of types of peppers both sweet and hot, numerous types of tomatoes and onions and cucumbers.

The little green spots of tobacco are now individual teeny, tiny, plants. I have four cups of those.

Every seed cup of all those different seeds had seedlings come up. I need to put the intermediate size pots with cucumbers and tomatoes outside in the small greenhouse to acclimate NOW as they are outgrowing the intermediate pots. A few days in that greenhouse, then they need to go in their permanent home pots. I CAN’T DO THAT DUE TO THE FREAKING FREEZING COLD THAT KEEPS COMING BACK.

It better be warm by March 1 for sure, no more freezing temps. I have to get more potting soil mix to be able to get the large pots ready for plants. I’m waiting on that until it warms up and my foot can handle walking a good distance. I can wear my shoe and walk right but the foot is still touchy sore and I don’t want to set it back by walking too much.

I hurt that foot and my hand/wrist by falling outside. I tripped on a piece of row cover - always keep row cover out of anywhere you would walk. I have no idea where that foot was when I landed on the deck but it was pretty much crushed so maybe it was under me when I hit the deck. Being right handed, I must have automatically put my right hand down to break the fall and instead, almost broke my wrist. If I weighed more I would probably have broken my foot and wrist.

Do you know where your row cover is? Get it out of your way. :o)

We have rather limited garden space here, so I am restricted to a few tomatoes, some squash, and a few peppers. Plus the soil is so bad here I have to plant everything in raised beds.
