What did you do in the garden today?

I was actually just thinking about @igorsMistress. Has she been on lately? I really enjoyed seeing her flock and was just wondering if anyone has seen her here.

Our local meteorologists do a great job, IMO. They have decades of experience and several of them have lived here for most of those decades, so their experience is of the local weather.

The chief meteorologist is great at explaining the nuances and technical stuff. They also have all the latest whiz-bang technology, which probably helps them to recognize patterns and emerging systems.

They still get it wrong on occasion, and they fess up.

So my seed starting activities have once again found my pepper seeds not germinating. All the others seeds are fully under way BUT NOT THOSE PEPPERS!

 

[Sally PB]

Peppers are pokey! My mom told me that, and she was right.

One of the only jobs where you can be wrong that much and still get paid

Yeah I used to feel that way until I realized they are predicting the future.

Im not gonna lie I do a sneaky every year. I cant ever get saved/baught pepper seeds to start. So every year in February I buy peppers from the store and start the seeds fresh from the pepper!! They always start for me that way. Getting them to survive out in the garden is a different matter, but at least I have seedling then! If they survive to full grown they always give me good fruit too, although I do try to avoid using any that look heavily modified. I would prefer to use non gmo heirlooms... but I can't seem to get them to grow! I did freeze a pepper one year and plant it straight from frozen, that worked. But i don't even have the seeds now.

I planted all my spring crops yesterday! Also got the new grape arbour up!
We now have planted outside (in fairly small patches) carrots, radishes, beets, turnips, lettuce, peas, kale, cabbage, leeks, garlic(from fall), broccoli, cauliflower, endive, and mustard greens. Very excited.
