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.
