I de-doubled the last of the pepper plants too so I can have extra too many pepper plants. 2 red Marconi into gallon pots with my experimental mix of high nitrogen and rock phosphate plus mycorrhizae in reused potting mix. The idea is to excessively grow the pepper plants early which I guess is what you're suppose to do anyway. The rock phosphate is 90% still rocks but tiny gravel sized. This makes 10 pots of Red Marconi in total.

A photo showing trays of pepper plant seedlings. In the center are 7 square gallon pot bags. They all have plant label stakes with the pepper variety written on them in man scribbles. 3 CA Wonder, 2 Jalapeno, and 2 Red Marconi. On the right are smaller square tall pots with older seedlings that have first and second true leaves growing. The upper right there is a lettuce plant.

It’s the weekend, so more odd contraptions.

A rack for seedling pots that I made for my wife. It’s designed to be propped vertically in the greenhouse, to make the most of space - but cobbled together so that whatever angle it’s at, the pots stay upright. Bit like the seats on a Ferris wheel.

The whole thing is on a pair of wheels, so that at hardening-off time (we’re still supposed to do that, right?), it can be trundled out and propped against a sunny wall, without everything falling out.

A contraption I made to hold small (9cm) pots for seedlings. It’s a rectangular frame with, set within it, a number of elongated basket arrangements each holding five pots. Further description in following photos. The rack is propped up vertically in the greenhouse, against the wall of the attached shed. A duck egg blue door, into the shed part, is to the left.
The rack described in the previous photo. In this picture, the rack is leant at a 45 degree angle against the blue door. Each basket arrangement remains in an upright position, as they are held by a pin at each end to the frame, which act as an axle. In this way, whatever angle the rack is propped at, the pots remain upright.
The same rack as previously, laid flat on the ground.
