Rainy 13°C / 56°FAt this point in the planting schedule I am 2 weeks behind in my onions; all six sets should have been in the ground by now. So I decided to plant the last two sets together this week; at least it’s going to stay cool for another week so they shouldn’t have too much trouble. I hope.

Veggie musical chairs, and a maple
Cucumber 2 Hardening Off, Cherry Tomatoes Showing True Leaves, Green Japanese Maple Sown, Kitchen Windowsil...Cloudy 12°C / 53°FImage 1: Even though it’s most likely too cold, I’m starting to harden off my cucumbers. I’m hoping that by next weekend it warms up enough so I can plant them outside. Still not sure about what I’m going to do with the other three. Try to find people to give them to, I ho...

Potted new belle pepper seedlings
Golden Baby Belle2 Germinating, Golden Baby Belle2 Potting Up, Kitchen Windowsill garden , and Patio Veggie...Rainy 9°C / 49°FNot letting these rot this time. Two of the six seeds had clear signs of germination, one looked like it was going to pop in a day or two, and the last three looked like duds but I potted them anyway. If this round doesn’t take off I may just skip peppers this year and try again next year, ...

Cloudy 11°C / 51°FAs I was prepping some seeds to mail out, I heard my cat crying in the front room, which faces my front yard. Expecting one of our neighbors cats (which is what he’s usually crying about), I went out and to my surprise it was not a cat but a large deer. Nibbling on one of my rose bushes. I ...

Rainy 12°C / 53°FQuick update on carrots and spinach after a long day of heavy rain. Image 1: Spinach started inside is doing well, finally holding itself up somewhat decently. The leaves are darkening and I’m thinking I’ll pick the outermost ones this weekend and make a salad, or sauté some with past...

IndoorsMy not-so-little cucumbers need to be potted up, and I finally got some 6" pots to move them to. However! As you can see in the picture they’re ranging from 2.5"-3.5" tall, and I was wondering if I should be covering some of the stalk when I transplant them? I’m hoping ...

Cloudy 13°C / 56°FHappy birthday me! Also my cherry tomatoes started sprouting (4 of 6) despite me thinking that they’d all died for sure over the weekend since they hadn’t been watered; they were completely dry when I got home, but seem just fine now. EDIT: 5th of 6 came up on the 25th, still waiting ...

First batch of belle peppers molded
Golden Baby Belle1 Dying, Golden Baby Belle2 Sown, Kitchen Windowsill garden , and Patio Veggie gardenIndoorsIt’s my fault for leaving them in the towel for too long, but this first round of belle peppers rotted/molded; must have sprayed them with too much water before heading out of town for the weekend. Threw them out and started another 6, will keep a closer eye on these. Img1: close up of rott...

Cloudy 12°C / 53°FThe purple dragon carrots that I started in a paper towel last week have already started coming up (score!). Not all of them, but honestly more than I expected; there are 7 or 8 of them up out of 39, and as I said in the previous journal for this planting I’m pretty sure I killed the roots ...
