It's time. I'll be starting my tomatoes and peppers next week. I actually brought two serrano pepper plants indoors last fall, and they are growing new leaves.
This year I'm improving my seed starting operation. Last year my seedlings failed due to lack of light. This year I built a grow light stand and I'm going to be using soil blocks instead of plastic cells.
I'm reducing my sweet corn crop from 2000 plants to 1000. No more succession seeding. Last year succession seeding hurt pollination and also allowed racoons to have a full month to attack the field (I have a new method to control them too) I'll harvest it all the first week of July. Building a wire mesh tunnel for pole beans, not bush beans like last year. Growing more tomatoes and peppers for salsa canning. I'll still be planting about 300 pumpkin vines, but we will have blocky orange ones, pale orange baking pumpkins, blue and white pumpkins too.
The garden is seeded to winter rye at the moment. I plan to start about 40 plants indoors in 2" soil blocks.
What do y'all have planned?
