Started last night:
12 Martino's Roma tomatoes
12 Royal Chico tomatoes
6 Green Zebra tomatoes
6 Black Giant tomatoes
6 Tess's Land Race Currant tomatoes
6 Thessaloniki tomatoes
6 Red Mushroom peppers
6 Long Red Cayenne peppers
6 Yellow Monster peppers
6 Corbaci peppers
I purchased these Burpee germinating kits. The growing medium pods are kind of bs, but it has a wicking mat that should be useful.
Tonight I will start the onions, cape gooseberries, yellow and red wild strawberries, marigolds, chamomile and wormwood.
With the weather being so much cooler than usual, it is a good thing I have been unable to get things planted on the schedule I wanted. Next year I will be prepared with some cool weather plants to put in the ground in late March, then follow those up with the normal warm weather plants. In August I will begin planting fall crops. Then in September I will plant next year's garlic and a few other things they recommend sowing in fall, and following that I will put in place the winter cover crop, probably buckwheat.
I think with the buckwheat, I will mow it once for the compost heap, then let it grow and turn it into the soil as recommended in the Bible.
