I Had To Replant Some Pepper!

My Sunbright Yellow Bell Did NOT Germinate.
Actually, to be honest, ONE seed of the 12 did. But that's not exactly a resounding success rate, is it? So, after 5 weeks, I decided, I am unlikely to see any more seeds sprout. ABOVE are the Pepper Seedlings, and ONE sneaky surprise? And the Cell, far right is empty but labeled. THAT'S the peppers that did not pop!

As I mentioned last week, and also above, it looks like the Sunbright Pepper seed packet from 2021 had poor viability: 1 of 12 seeds germinated. This morning, I did sow twelve 2022 Sunbright Yellow Pepper seeds. (two per cell). Counting backwards from the outdoor transplant date of May10-15th, depending on weather, I still have time to germinate some Pepper indoors and we'll see how this helps.

Above: I was concerned, but it looks like the Beefsteak tomato did germinate, after all, so no need to re-plant. Below: Onions Are doing well, and moved to the LED 4Ft (122cm) shelf. It's not flourescent, it is an LED tube.

Now comes the absolute hardest part .... the waiting. It will be weeks before major moves, so, right now, it is all a matter of patience. Next Steps:

• First Batch of Seed Potato outside later this week.
• Peas into ground outside, next week?
• turn Compost
• Fill GrowBags with soil/compost/peat mix, to prep for seedlings.


I sit on my hands, and wait, for a bit. It's a matter of sitting and Waiting. Waiting. Some more waiting. I am merely the water boy for the next few weeks, with a small low dose compost or fertilizer feed. But little to do, in between...
