Marcella, I planted (drum roll please) Two Tromboncino Squash Seeds in the Black Gold Seed Starting Mix. It’s a correct “moon” day, so we’ll see what happens.
I also planted Armenian Cucumbers, Neon Lights Swiss Chard, Little Caesar lettuce, Little Gems lettuce, toy choi, wa wa tsai (dwarf Chinese cabbage), Chinese celery, zucchini (so the Squash Vine Borers will have something to destroy), Kale, Renegade Spinach, Early Long Eggplant, and two Aroma tomatoes.
Some of the things I planted are under the grow light, but the lettuce, chard, wa wa tsai, and toy choi are in the greenhouse. I moved the heat lamp under the shelves that I set those things. I draped a planket about a foot off the front of the shelf, and all the way to the ground on the outside wall..all well away from the heat lamp, so no fire danger. I hope it will work like a heat mat.
Of course, it’s supposed to freeze here tomorrow night, so, I envision myself, making many trips from the greenhouse to the house with all these new plantings.
I have two nights coming of 36, nothing down to freezing for at least a week and that is where the forecast ends.
I'll plant the onion bulbs tomorrow if it doesn't rain tonight and I've got a 20% chance tonight. The soil is already in those bags and they are in the net house and I don't want to play in mud to plant them. For me, when potting soil mix is really wet, it moves around too easily. If it doesn't rain tonight, there is no more rain until maybe Friday.
Moths/vine borers: I have Diatomaceous Earth and a bulb nasal aspirator to use to blow it on moistened vines and the base and around the base, to kill the moths and any vine borers before they get inside the plant even though I have these plants in containers, not in the ground. I will wear a mask when I do that.
