First Starts Planted Today!

We'll see if I'm a tad early, but I don't think so. Especially given that my peppers were SOOOOO slow to start last year.

Started Principe Borghese, Black from Tula, Stupice and Juane Flamée tomaotes.

And Fish, Beaver Dam, Rooster Spur and Mulato Isleno Peppers.

Should be interesting to see if the jump start for the peppers really helps.

All the peppers are eventually going in medium/large pots.

Don't mind Lisa's "Pfffft." She is just jealous!

Truth be told, I'm jealous, too!!
I do have a few plants growing (very slowly in this cold weather). The old window I propped up over my arugula bed is working out pretty well. The arugula is growing faster than anything else.

Glad to know someone else has started too. I've sown a couple of Sophie's Choice toms to set out a *tad* early, hoping to extend the tomato season on both ends. Still have green toms on the Bush Goliath (big box afterthought for the fall) in the garden.

Thanks for the reminder on the peppers. I get caught up in Christmas and they always get thought of a little later than I'd like.

Got my leeks, onions, and some wild garlic from Michigan that my son brought me last month while he was deer hunting up there... they are all about 5 inches tall now and hopefully get the greenhouse finished this next week so the maters and peppers can get planted... oh yeah! I forgot about the sweettaters set in pots .. three varieties and they have roots showing and a couple sprouts starting on each....

We are well underway here in Mississippi too.
Its never too early.
Peppers, Tomatos....I even started some Zinnias just to see if I can have some Flowers in April.
Of course..all this under the help of my greenhouse

Remember...all you have to lose is seed.
Plant more, again, and again.
Dig on!
