2020 Garden Thread.

 Most of these were planted from seed on March 16. Belgiums are much bigger than I ever imagined after just 18 days.

The 2 square containers are Mortgage Lifter and Boxcar Willie took about ten days for seed to germinate.

The round one in the center, cocktail tomatoes,about 6 days germination..

Everything in a red cup is Belgium Pink.

This new LED light is really nice!  A 36W  4' light bar.About the same length as the tub 😄

Stuck a few maters in the Earth today. Soil felt warm even 10" down. I've never planted this early,ever. May be a mistake,I'm prepared to protect from a frost or monsoon if necessary. 🤞 I have back ups just in case these don't survive. Going to transplant them out of their red cups probably Thursday. They have doubled in height since last Thursday.

Sowed another 11 Belgium and 2 Boxcar Willies today. They will be started inside.

The gardening that takes place here in MD. When you rent not many options besides potted vegetables. So replanted one of my pre-bonsai plants.

         Garden up and running in BilletHeadVille,

   Lettuce bed doing well. Potential freeze tonight and again Sunday night. Even though this stuff is pretty hardy glad to have the option to lower covers. Between the lettuce plants is some baby bok choy. Love bok choy. First time trying it. On the north end lost some plants. Not sure what happened. In this pic it all looks a bit sad. I had just watered it good. Kind of mashes it.

     Peppers under little grow light really happy,

     Then we have tomato starts in my grow room (spare bedroom) . I went a bit overboard. Started 48. 24 black Krim and 24 celebrity . I don't plant near this many but have friends who appreciate our extras. I went and planted all the seed I ordered and got 100 percent germination,

       New to me and my assembly of this contraption happened this morning. I bought an LED high powered grow light. It states to start 48 inches above plants at first. I could not get this height at first. Then lower after a few days. Hope it doesn't burn my plants. Its pretty cool.

                 I wondered if I got on a list for just ordering this item?  Pretty funny each description picture there is nothing but the herb under it!

  This is for medicinal purposes. Healthy EATING of vegetables .

You can grow the whacky weed in MO now, just need to apply and pay the fees.

Yep, there's a huge growing operation going in just over the hill.  They're spending a lot of money and they are in a big hurry to get it all set up.  The machines are running late into the night, every night.

I was looking at the website of applications the other day.  Who was approved and who was denied and whatnot

if you want a good laugh...take a look at some of the names of the businesses that applied...I can’t remember any right now...but some were pretty funny 

success rate of those that applied was about 5 percent
