Next up: Jalapenos. Planted lettuce and spinach

I saw yesterday that my Jalepenos started germinating. These are the second of 4 chili pepper sets to start germinating. The New Mexico 64 Longs are nearly all up now. Hopefully I'll see alot more action soon from the Big Jim's and Hungarian Carrot Chilis. The idea is to germinate the seeds and keep them in the seed trays until they are about 3-4 inches tall, then transplant them into 4" starter pots.

I scored free 4" pots at Portland Nursery yesterday. Turns out they have a recycling center in their East parking lot and they don't mind customers rifling through the bins to find and take home pots.  I have done this a few times when looking for accessory pots for various reasons.

I also did some reasonably good gardening this weekend:

  • Double-dug a 5 foot bed for a new set of Boysenberries
  • Double-dug a 6 foot bed at the house and planted lettuce and spinach
  • Purchased 2 Columnar apple trees, lettuce, spinach, four Blueberries, and four Boysenberries
