So here are the brownies filled with seeds. So far this process was more complicated than filling seed
trays, but after only a few days you can see marigolds starting to bloom. So I will reserve judgment for awhile. I had trouble knowing if the blocks were too moist or not enough, but as long as things grow, it must be OK.
The garlic has been enjoying the 60 degree weather and the chili peppers which wintered inside are enjoying a day in the sun. It will get replanted in the garden in May or June.
I just read the book Plenty and had a book discussion with an environmental group, led by Karen from Sang Lee. It is about a couple who only ate food that came from a 100 mile radius..that meant no flour or oil or anything made with those items. It is a great read, and brought up a debate about local vs organic if you must choose. I just supported my local cheese shop but bought cheese form Spain, Chile and France.
On a less controversial note, Dad and I are planning the outdoor shower we want to build for the summer..yea. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE.
Your pepper plants looks beautiful. Ever think of building a coldframe? Great place to harden off plants before putting them in the garden and that would work for your hot peppers. Everything was sprouted (Peppers and Eggplants) when we returned home this morning. Grow lights will be on today. Probably start Broccoli this week. Mike tilled the garden yesteday, want another tilling next week and then will start planting. What do you use to hold up your snow peas? I have some mesh fencing I think might work.
