Gardeners, where are you?!
I have a special note in my planner that I get to timeline my seed starting this weekend. To be honest, the winter hasn’t been awful, and I’ve been enjoying the snow enough that I’m not craving the greenery….yet.

But the seeds are waiting patiently. The ground will, eventually, be warming. Our perennials are readying themselves.

And I suppose, right now, I’m readying myself as well.

The shawl I’m wearing is the #reynashawl . The cardigan was found in the bargain bin of a thrift store. The hat, always offering wisdom, reads “Don’t Pet The Bison”.

Inside the Red Head's Head

I took a new clipping of the plant we grew from a clipping from the plant that Bellana grew from a clipping from her step mother’s plant. It’s been sitting in water near a window for weeks and the cats have been terrorizing it. They drink the water, they knock the clipping out of the glass. It’s terrible. I assumed the attempt was going to fail, but I didn’t throw it out. I just left the glass of water with the clipping by the window. Two days ago I checked it after neglecting it for almost a week and there are two new roots sprouting off of it! Success!

I just ordered some potting soil and a little pot. Hopefully it survives long enough for them both to get here so I can pot this babie!

Quick check of the nursery reveals the amount of work I'll have over the weekend to sort out all these seedlings. Hundreds of them are in need of transplantation into individual cells, and trays need to be moved around between grow lights and windowsill to pace their growth and maintain vigor. Still good 2 months to go before I'll be able to move them outdoors but so far so good...

Very young sprouts of eggplant seedlings (two hybrid varieties) in 4x6 cell trays and growing under artificial light.
Roughly 2-month old chili plant seedlings growing in their individual cells in 4x6 trays have started branching out and will soon need to be re-potted. These are Red Savina habanero types of exceptional heat and, due to having the meatiest and juiciest fruiting bodies of all habanero type plants I grow, are delicious in slightly more "adventurous" salsas and stews.

Seedlings too tight to mention
Oh, seedlings, seedlings, seedlings, seedlings

"Simply Green" puns aside, these are all what most would know as "Peri-peri", lovely-tasting Capsicum Frutescens at just the right heat levels (~ 100-150k SHU) for #sriracha. They produce fruits throughout the season. I'm unable to cull my trays of surplus seedlings by chucking the weaker ones away so now I ended up with 4 instead of 2 trays of 24 seedlings each. Whatever I'll do with all of them??

#Today, the cactus wizard works her magic.

I can’t do indoor plants…it’s bonsai and outdoor shrubs/trees I even attempt. But my spouse seems to have a magic touch on these “Christmas Cactuses”. Her “secret” is to let them have a few months out in the garden every summer…and I sparingly water them and fertilize them with the rest of the bonsai.

They often look weak and lethargic by summers end…almost sun-beat…when I bring them in in the early fall. Then when they get into more subdued light and even temps they do this…every year!
