Peet Pots

The transplants have taken place. In their spots in the "green house" we have put flowers for use outside the house. The little discs didn't quite fit so they are smooshed into their individual holes.

Already the leaves are larger and growing better with more room to move. I may have planted them a little too deep though. Some of the stalks were really tall so I put them down deep in the soil to give the stalk some support. The whole point is for the roots to have lots of space. I didn't know this though. Now I know and I will not mistake that one again. Here's hopeing the roots have plenty of space even though I didn't plant them at the top.

On seedling news, still not a pepper in sight. I felt better when I spoke to our "plot" friends though. Their pepper plants took almost 5 weeks to pop up. There is still hope. We are only on day 15. I figure we have a good 3 weeks before I give up on them.

11 d 11

It has been 11 days. Tomorrow I have potting soil on the shopping list so I can transplant a few of these babies before they get squished to death in the short roofed dwelling they now occupy. It makes me excited that they are growing so quickly. I am trying NOT to worry about the ones that have yet to pop through the soil. 7-14 days lisha the package said 7-14 days.

On a side note, I have now convinced my sister and her family to join in on the planting. I am excited that they will join us because it will give us even more time to spend together over the summer months. Hooray!

7 Whole Days

I took these pictures this morning. The edamame is officially bumping the ceiling. Not sure if that means I should leave the lid off or not...The other pots still need it I think. So now I am going to have to surf around for some advice.

Day 5

Here they are on Tuesday. The big ones are edamame and cucumbers. We also have some tomatoes bursting through. These trays are awesome and so far fool proof...which is great for me! (Refer to this)

The Plot

We have decided to join forces with a few other families in our ward to create a great big garden. We have 2 plots out at the Stake Farm reserved for us and our elbow grease. So far we have 4 families committed. (one already became a little overwhelmed and opted for the plot in the neighbors back yard. I wish that was an option for us.) There is a fifth in the works, we will see how dedicated they are.



Each plot at the farm is 50 feet by 80 feet. We have 2. Not quite sure why we decided to go so big, but the rewards will speak for themselves.



Here is the beginning of our contribution. Well some of it anyway.



I am already a little overwhelmed thinking of the moutains of vegeys that will need to be canned at the end of the summer. But another part of me is SUPER EXCITED! I can't wait until the planting begins. We are anxiously awaiting the phone call!
