5 Gallon Bucket Potatoes Second Planting Update
This is just an update on the second round of 5 gallon bucket potatoes that I planted on 3-15-2020. For this batch of potatoes I took my seed potatoes and cut them into pieces, then let them cure for a couple of weeks. I wasn’t sure how these would turn out because I had let…
Cucumbers Planted in Grow Bags 3-26-2020
I planted some Burpee Burpless Beauty Cucumber sees in some garden containers this morning. I picked up a couple of 2.5 gallon containers at Lowes yesterday so that is what I planted the cukes in. I used a mixture of organic top soil and peat moss in both pots. I decided to start these outside…
Grow Bag Garden Update 3-28-2020
We’ve had a lot of rain for the last 10 days. There has also been some nice sunshine mixed in periodically and the temperatures have stayed between 48 and 84 degrees. It has been mostly in the high 60’s to mid 70’s though so most of the plants are looking pretty good other than being…
Peas Update 03-24-2020
The peas are growing very nicely since they sprouted last week. Both cups that I planted are starting to grow very tall. I will have to get them transplanted into the grow bags this week and get them outside. The weather here is supposed to be in the 60-70 degree range so they should adapt…
Pepper Plant Update 03-24-2020
The banana pepper plants and the cayenne pepper plants are both doing very well under the grow lights indoors. I have decided that I will put some of these in 5 gallon buckets and some in 7 gallon grow bags. I had to start using the 7 gallon grow bags because the 5 gallon bags…

Bean Seeds Have Sprouted 03-22-2020
Two weeks ago I planted bean seeds in two small Styrofoam cups. The beans sprouted two days ago and look pretty good so far. The one on the right sprouted 3 days before the one on the left did so it has grown a little faster. I will be moving these into grow bags shortly…
Kuroda Carrot Seeds Arrived 03-21-2020
I watched a Youtube video on growing carrots and one of the best looking varieties was one I had never heard of before – Kuroda carrots. I did a little research on them and discovered that they are an Asian variety of carrot. They looked really good in the video and they grow to about…
Pea Seeds Have Sprouted 03-22-2020
The pea seeds that I planted two weeks ago have sprouted. I only planted two seeds – one in each cup of soil. I had them inside my house under some grow lights. One actually popped up earlier in the week and the other one finally popped out of the soil two days ago. They…
