I love banana peppers in salads and on pizza so I planted 12 seeds in some peat pellets to see how they would do. I also planted 4 cayenne pepper seeds since I am also a fan of their flavor and heat level. The cayenne peppers sprouted in 4 days and all looked very healthy….

I finished transplanting all of the Roma tomato seedlings into larger cups today. Most of them seem to be handling the move pretty well so far. I also had to thin them out as I transplanted them. Some of the peat pellets had four or even five tomato seedlings growing in them. I used scissors…

I’m finally getting around to planting some potato seeds that I bought back in December. What a slacker! Some of the seeds actually rotted because I didn’t get them planted in time. Out of the 3 varieties that I bought in December I probably had to throw away about 40%. That’s what happens when you…

Here is a current picture of the Delicious Tomatoes that I grew from seed and have now transplanted them to larger cups to give them more room to grow. So far the majority of the plants are doing fine after being transplanted. There are a couple that look a little down since the transplant but…

I had to take a short business trip this week so I was gone for a couple of days. When I came back I was shocked at how much the 5 gallon bucket potatoes had grown in such a short period of time. Here are some pictures showing the latest growth spurt of the potato…

Here’s a quick update on the bunching onions that I planted from seeds and the white onions that I planted from bulbs. This is a picture of the bunching onions that I took on 2-17-2020: It’s king of hard to tell much from the picture but I can assure you that they are growing very…

I moved some of my tomato seedlings into larger cups to give them a little more room to grow. They were originally planted on January 26, 2020 using seeds placed into peat pellets. Here are the Delicious Tomato seedlings that I transplanted into large cups: Here are the Roma tomato seedlings that I transplanted into…

These pictures of my 5 gallon bucket potatoes were taken on 2-17-2020. The potatoes were originally planted on January 26, 2020. They are growing very nicely so far. They are looking good so far to me. I am looking forward to more growth as the weather continues to warm up here in North Georgia.

So I started my lettuce seeds indoors a couple of weeks ago. The indoor lettuce seedlings started out very quickly and were looking good for a while. Then I noticed that they were getting kind of leggy and starting to droop over. They were looking pretty sad. My first thought was that I was giving…
