I bet we are all working hard, we are in the process of getting plants in the ground. Here’s a funny. I only got two Costa Rican Pepper seeds to sprout this spring, have two nice plants going outside. But I started many more inside that did not sprout. Also same with the shishitos. I had to buy two plants from Bonnie. Not enough. I have come to the conclusion that neither of those like to be sprouted inside in peat pots. So several days ago I took a pot filled it with soil and put a ring from a container in the middle. I dumped the rest of my shishito seeds inside the ring and the rest of the Costa Rican outside the ring. It’s been outside. Today I counted 6 tiny plants coming up in the center and about 20 in the outside ring. And yes they all look like pepper plants. Two tiny leaves each. It was clean soil. I almost can’t believe it and will take a picture soon when I am sure.
Our iris garden is loaded with buds, and the bowl of beauty peonies too.
We have many more orioles coming too for grape jelly. Happy gardening!
