-Pea shoots are up! I have never planted peas before, so it's exciting to watch their growth. In another few weeks, I'll start the second round of peas.
-Tomatoes are up-potted. I am hardening them off and plan on transplanting on Monday. I will be putting 2 roma plants, 1 silvery fir (I didn't get many strong plants from the seeds this year), 1 random heirloom, and 2 golden nuggets (good lord these things produce!) in the garden. I want to put 2 or 3 cherry tomato in the back windowbox. Eggplants are up-potted and looking great. I am hoping to have 2 plants in the garden.
-Beans are planted, but haven't germinated.
-Radishes are looking great.
-Carrots are just starting to grow. Nothing from the parnsips yet.
-Peppers are looking strong. I want up to 4 of each kind of pepper in each square (healthy and sweet italian). I will put both the mini peppers (mini red and mini mixed) in the back windowbox.
-I put the borage, thyme, basil, and calendula out in the garden. The borage is looking a little traumatized. I think two of the four plants will make it. The thyme looks a little bothered, but I am hoping it will make it. The basil looks a little sunburned, but is otherwise standing strong. The calendula is unfazed by the transplant. I tried to harden these off before putting them out, but I think my lower (shady) deck isn't the best for this; I am trying to harden things off on the sunnier landing after seeing these results.
-Broccoli is not going to make it. The last transplants died, and I think these will too. I believe they needed more sun to make the stems stronger and less leggy. Perhaps up-potting next year will help? I am considering putting some delicata squash plants in the broccoli's place.
-It's a little early, but I put zucchini and cucumbers seeds in. Excited to see them come up. I'll be putting the bush cucumber and 8-ball squash in the back windowbox as well.
