Need More Room

Well, it didn't take long to start running out of room in the greenhouse!  So far, I have almost 5000 seeds planted...and about 1/3rd of them have germinated. 

Here's a list of the seedlings so far:

     Tomatoes - Beefsteak, Rutgers, Brandywine, Yellow Brandywine,   Yellow Perfection, Matt's Wild Cherry, Nepal, Moskvich, Green Zebra, Roma

     Peppers - Golden California Wonder Bells, Habanero, Cayenne

     Eggplant - Black Beauty, Little Fingers

     Cabbage - Invento, Red Express

     Broccoli - Belstar

     Cauliflower - Snowball

I'll have to pay close attention to the temps in the greenhouse!!!!!!  I'd hate to loose all of these plants!

    

 
 

Bad News!!!!

     Since the temps got down to 17 last night, I was a little worried about the tomato seedlings in the greenhouse.  I have 2 small heaters in there that I knew could handle 25 degrees.  Well, I found out that they COULDN'T handle 17!!!!  All of the tomatoes were dead, about 100 seedlings that were coming up.  The broccoli and cauliflower made it ok, just lost a few of them.  The lettuce made it with no loses.  I just hope the other trays of tomatoes and peppers that have not come up yet, make it ok.  The weather man said it would get down to 17 again tonight.....we'll see.......Greg
 
 

Certified Naturally Grown

     Well, we have been accepted into "Certified Naturally Grown"!!!  I don't know if I'll bother getting "Certified Organic".  I like CNG's tougher standards! 

     The greenhouse is far enough along that tomorrow, I'll be able to start the first seeds of the year......It's about time!!!!!
