We're up to somewhere between four and six inches of snow on the ground. Perfect gardening weather, right? Well, good for starting new seeds indoors and taking care of our seedlings. The tomato and broccoli seedlings are doing nicely. The herbs are just starting to come up, except for the chives. I'm fairly sure the chive seeds were no good, but I had a second packet so I've replanted with those instead.
The jalapeno and bell pepper seeds have not germinated, even after having been replanted last weekend. I plan to buy new seeds and try yet again. The eggplant has also not yet germinated so I've replanted it a third time. Frustrating. Today I also planted kale, two varieties of cucumber, and two types of basil. The tray of soil sprinkled with lettuce seeds is doing well; Nick wanted to experiment with growing lettuce in a different format.I am concerned about all of the things that are not growing properly, but I have to try and focus on the positive and keep replanting until everything grows. Fingers crossed!
