That’s right, snowed. So needless to say I’m not outside in the yard. I did give the seedlings indoors a bit of fish fertilizer because some of my eggplants were getting yellow leaves. I ended up pulling out a handful of seedlings that looked too beat up to even bother with. I figure that, since I have packets of seeds, I could pick out the ones that I had extra seeds for.
Of the two tomatoes I started (black zebra and Tula black seaman [no joke, that’s the name]), the zebra started slower but is now looking more developed than the Tula.
Ralph has decided to only use one of the Topsy Turveys this year for his Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes, so I may use the Topsy Tree for some of my seedlings. I also have a pot that a now-dead indoor tree used to inhabit. I will probably fill it up with sugar snap peas. In previous years I would only plant like 6 sugar snap peas because the plant quantity seemed like a good amount, but the average harvest was usually only enough to use as garnish (5-6 pods per plate). In one of the garden beds, I’ve planted 10-15 sugar snap peas, but this will allow me another set to harvest and to move in the shade if needs be. Plus, if it has a decent yield, I can always take out what’s in the bed for other plants.
After the fish fertilizing and seedling thinning, I think I have some better ways of starting seedlings for next year if I have to do it indoors. I feel like I’m blabbing.
