2012 Garden (Day 23) – First Lesson of the Season

Plants are growing as expected and beginning to outgrow my container. I finished the raised beds outside, just need to fill them with dirt and start transplanting some of the bean plants…probably later this week.

2012 Garden (Day 14)

Transplanted the bean plants along with a couple zucchini plants two nights ago. Everything is looking good, including signs of pepper plants. Next steps, begin hardening off the plants and get the bed boxes finished.

Signs of tomatoes have emerged, 12 shoots to be exact. Still nothing from the peppers. I’ll also be transplanting some of the bean and zucchini plants this weekend.

2012 Garden (Day 7) – Tomatoes and Peppers?

Seedlings are coming up nicely, except for the tomatoes and peppers. I’m a little concerned, but it’s only been seven days, so they still have time. The seed packets gave a germination of 7-10 days…fingers crossed.
