Planting

I've been busy this weekend. I've made a little nursery in the hoop house for the leeks. It will take so long for them to become thick as a pencil so I can transplant. I thought they would grow faster and stronger outside in the h.h. Once they get bigger I'll put them in the 2' x 10' bed. From what I've read, they can handle the transplanting.

I've also transplanted the psb in the h.h. This is my second planting of it as the first planting was frozen in the greenhouse :( I do have plenty of seed though.

Outside of the hh I planted a sugar snap pea called, "Super Snappy". Vines are small and do not need any support. Harvest in about 65 days according to the packet. I've also got 3 kale plants in the side of that bed. I should have gotten 2 packets of seed to plant up the whole bed, but it worked out by putting the kale in there.

I've also transplanted green ice lettuce and bright lights swiss chard in the other bed outside of the hh. It has a lot more space for planting and I'll probably put some spinach in.

We bought our buckets yesterday for the upside down tomatoes. We're planting "Prudens Purple" , an Amish heirloom, and another Amish heirloom called, "Brandywine". Both are large and bold tasting.

In the house under lights the peppers, tomatoes and eggplants are doing great. They will need transplanted into larger containers soon though.
