Today one of my hot pepper seed starts began emerging. I planted then and placed them in the greenhouse the last few days of January/1st few days of February.
The space heater kept the greenhouse frok.gettong below high 50s in the worst of pur snowy weather and now with the sunny patches of weather it is getting warm in the greenhouse....warm enough at times that the roof vent pops open occasionally so I am seeing activity picking up with seed starts.
Last expected frost in Seattle area is 3-21 so by mid April I should be hardening these babies off.
1st to pop Cosmos them Blue Larkspur, then Cherokee purples tomatoes, a couple of Black Krim and Bonny Bests...1 eggplant and now 1 caperino hot pepper.
It is hard watching g them occasionally struggle to dispense with the seed shell after they emerge.
I occasionally have to use tweezers to crack the shell carefully when they cannot shed it and let the 1st two (not true) leaves emerge.
We can see the grass in our lawn! Not all of it - but a lot of it! Yay!!!
I agree. Woo hoo!
