Top priority for tomorrow is to sow Carrot Seed, and to fill 6 or 8 of the 10 Gallon (38 Liter) Fabric Grow Bags, with my combo 1/3 Soil, 1/3 compost, and 1/3 peat. If you remember, I have some seed germinating, in these paper towel, water, plastic baggies:
When I hold them up to light, I can clearly see a few of the seeds have germinated, and that means, I need to get ready to sow these soon.
After filling those Grow Bags, my next tasks for me to accomplish, this coming week:
- I have another 20 grow bags, to fill, that's the last of them. A total of 20 or so for pepper, 45 or so for tomato, a half dozen for other plants. These will get my usual 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 peat, 1/3 compost mix, plus Espoma® Garden-Tone and some worm castings. At the least, I need to gather the soil, compost and peat for this and perhaps start to mix it.
- end of week, I will start Hardening OFF my peppers: transplanting outside, within 10 days.
- Next week, I will be hardening off Tomato, and following week, squash, Zucchini and more herbs! It takes about a week for Hardening off plants. so, once I start, I transplant in 7 or 8 days, depending on weather.
I need to find a couple of large container for the Blueberry Bushes.
