IPut the few tomatos I have left out in the green house for a day. partially blocking the full sun-- just seems like too big a hit of solar energy after living in a house . Then brought them back indoors as the weather was dropping very low, again more than they are used to, and dang it !!!!!!! didn't a mouse steal 2 of the plants.

We have trapped/ killed 4 so far. Another is skilled at licking off the peanut butter, licked clean!!, but not snapped. lastnight the pb was licked clean off and the trap snapped BUT it broke and didnot get the mouse. I told DH we have a rat not a mouse!! I hope not.

Transplanting the parsley to larger containers-- do they transplant ok? I figure they are safer out in the little green house than in the house with the mouse who eats each sprout.

THe chives have sprouted well-- so very cute how it emerges folded, and when tall enough the tip springs free to lift up and become the top. Gotta love all mother natures tricks.

Currently, in our greenhouse the following have sprouted:

3 types of heirloom tomatoes (Black Krim, Bloody Butcher, and Yellow Pear) - the secret to these is keeping them humid, or they won't grow
Radishes (French Breakfast, I think)
Lettuce (mixed types)
Spinach, flat leaf (unknown type, got it from a farmer to try out)

I got a mesclun mix in some soil a couple days ago. Also there are pepper and eggplant seeds, but they have not sprouted. I thought they would sprout when the tomatoes did, since they're all nightshades, but no. Hopefully the heat/humidity didn't kill them. Or maybe they need more heat? Does anyone know?

Peppers take a looooong time to sprout. Eggplant is inthe same family as tomotos and peppers, but not which sprouting schedule they follow.
