I haven’t had too much success with my seed-to-transplant process this year. First batch of cukes (both pickling and salad cukes) burned to a crisp in the ground. The tomatoes never got going and shriveled up, as well. I’m reserving judgment on the beans because some of them are still holding on. The bell peppers are highly questionable.
So, swallowed some pride and I hit the nursery this weekend. I bought 7 types of tomatoes, a 6-pack of strawberries, and a golden bell pepper. Before I could plant any of these, I had to clear out parts of the winter garden. I picked the last of the shelling peas, snow peas, and cleaned up the spinach patch. It was not as prolific as last year’s giant spinach leaves, but we grazed on it for a good few months, so it definitely worked out.
I’m 32 weeks pregnant and my to-do list was longer than my body would accomodate. I still need to plant 4 of the tomato plants and the bell pepper. Maybe tomorrow night after work.
Time to check on lovely smelling banana bread in the oven.
(P.s. big Max milestone this weekend, he used the potty twice! )
