okra,brussels sprouts

Okra in the incubator,along with cactus mix that the kids planted.
Too windy to do much outside.I would like to plant some more carrots,
beets & maybe another row of kale.
Brussels sprouts seeds are in the coldframe (  unheated breezeway) along
with the artichoke plants that need a few weeks of 50 deg weather
in order to produce chokes as an annual.
Peppers & tomatoes are under the lights in the homemade greenhouse (photos soon)
Yard & raised beds are pretty much cleaned up.
Lisa's flower beds look great,lots of blooms already.

PEAS & KALE

Peas (burpee burpeeana early) &
kale (wild garden mix) in the ground today.

About 3/4 of the 72 pepper plants have
germinated thus far.

tomatoes

Started tomato seeds about a week ago.
Looks to be 100% germination.
Pretty good considering about half of the 72
I planted were last years seed.
