Yesterday Margie picked and cooked the first mess of collards for the season. They were very good. Last night I planted 12 seeds each of chocolate bell, mini sweet and Jalapeno peppers. I will put them into the greenhouse when they get big enough to transplant. Speaking of the greenhouse, I'm still getting tomatoes and peppers out of there.

Good job on the greenhouse production. These late spring temps we have should keep them going.
Today I had the first tomato sprout for my 2016 garden crop. Excited!!

Larro, you are encouraging us to getting planting some seeds. Thanks!

Watching those seeds sprout is one of my favorite times in gardening. I'm going to try hard to remember to start less seeds this year. I always do several times over what I can use and end up giving a lot of them away. This has been such a crazy year with weather, I'm not even going to try to guess what Spring is going to be like. Without the greenhouse to fall back on, I wouldn't be starting this early.

We do the same... need to plant fewer and spread out the seeding throughout the season. Probably should do some cleaning up of the greenhouse while it isn't raining today.

I had just about gave up on the pepper seeds, but got the first sprout today. A Jalapeno. The 9th is a good planting day, so I might do a few more then.

Last week I heard Dollar Tree had their seed packs in. I stopped at the store in Marianna and stocked up. Sadly there was no Grand Bell Mix.

Then when Margie was in Orlando for her conference, she passed a Dollar Tree when they were going out to eat. On the way back she stopped and got some Grand Bell Mix, as well as a few other seeds. We should be in good shape, seed wise.

Today and tomorrow are good planting days. I'll put a few GBM seeds in soil tomorrow.

The wind chill is -5 as I write. Tomorrow won't be a good day to plant here.

No fair planting in January :D

Seriously, curious how you make out.

I've built some frames over my raised beds to put Remay onto. Unfortunately, not soon enough to save my peas, cauliflower and mustard. Maybe the carrots will keep going. Couldn't fine any Remay at Lowes or Home Depot. May order it from Gardeners Supply online.
