    What did you do in the garden today?

    I don’t think I could squeeze those in with my limited space, but I’ll try to keep that in mind. I rescued most of mine from the woods where they’d been dumped 😒 by one or more neighbors getting rid of dead house plants. Some of them are nicely decorative too!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Checked on the garden box where I was trying to overwinter carrots and they’re all mush! Such a waste; I should have just harvested them all. :he I’m also going to be in trouble if I ever get a variety I want to save seed from. I wish I had more in-ground space to work with.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Congratulations! I checked and my chives are just starting to poke out of the ground. Still a good sign; I'd thought they were dead. 🤪 Tarragon was peeking out too, and had signs of digging around it. I put on the wire cloche; hopefully that will keep off the rabbits. I had a second ghost...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    The other four ghost seeds still haven't surfaced so they went back on the heat mat today.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Checked the tomatoes this morning; the twins are still alive. The tomatoes in general are just starting to get their first real leaves.

    Saw a big flock of starlings in the trees yesterday. I’m not sure what they were doing, they kept swooping around. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    😲 I have one like that right now! *runs to apply water* In other tomato-related news, I tried splitting the twin seedlings last night, hoping to get them before they got too entangled. I still found bits of root in the soil, but they didn't keel over dead last night, so 🙏 they make it! I'm...

    I was thinking Mackinac.

    Things you say every year.

    I did Swiss Chard last year and it did seem to do well! I may plant some more of that this year.

    Things you say every year.

    I tried kale last year and the bugs turned most of it into lace. 😢 In fairness, I also tried Brentwood lettuce last year, and it didn't bolt immediately on being planted outside. I'm planning to give that another shot this year, maybe I can get more of that going.

    Things you say every year.

    This year I will harvest more leafy greens before they can bolt. 😕 Been there! This is why my cayenne peppers now spend their existence in a hanging planter each summer. I ended up trying to jam them in every spare space I had that year and it turns out they do better there than anywhere else!

    Seed hoarding is half the reason I frequent a seed library. 😅 Anything more than a year or two old can be donated and won’t be ‘wasted.’ Because I will do my best to save every single seed that can possibly be saved, but I will never have the space plant them all, so someone might as well benefit!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Snow last night. No new ghost seedlings, but two more fish peppers broke ground bringing the total to 9/10 for my first planting of Baker Creek seeds.

    Peppers are still coming up, still no sign of the ghosts yet.

    I did not know about the leaves, so that is useful information! If I can get them going I will probably use the leaves, so I can donate the seeds to the seed library.

    I have some purple coneflower seeds in cardboard pots now, so this is useful to know. I really need to look up which part(s) of the plant are supposed to be used for tea. 🤔 If I can cut it back for that early enough I hope it will be less of an issue.

    If it helps I wrap a space blanket around the back of my grow light setup so the reflective surface will focus more light on the plants.

    I had a handful of the peppers sprout today! 🙌 Mostly cayenne, but one or two of the fish peppers too. No ghost yet, but hopefully they’re on the way!
