Jenny, Tracy & I have transplanted all of the seedlings into bigger, roomier flats, and boy do the plants love it! Everything is taking off and are looking happy and healthy. When we transplanted the basil (around 300-400 plants!), by the next day they had already grown about a quarter inch.

In the micro-greenhouses we have at least six varieties of tomatoes, three different eggplant, tomatillos, two types of basil, three or four varieties of bell peppers and close to a dozen different hot peppers. We also have various other herbs started and probably some stuff I’m forgetting.

Out in the garden we have a few successions of cool weather crops in and popping up. Some things seemed to be germinating much later than the seed packet stated, but they finally popped, so that takes some worries off.

So far we have planted two types of turnips, two or three types of spinach, a TON of arugula, three types of radishes, three types of carrots, two types of beets, Swiss chard, collards, kale, broccoli, broccoli rapini, sugar snap peas, and somewhere around a dozen types of lettuce. That is the main garden… in the perennial/herb/permaculture garden we’ve planted asparagus, raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, mint & catnip (both in pots to keep from going wild), fennel, rosemary, sage, chives, garlic chives, chamomile, skullcap and valerian… as well as various marigold and calendula.
