I'm going to be late on everything. Except maybe the okra. But if there is a late frost, it will just look like I was cautious and not lazy.

There was a frost last week, but we are in the 70's for highs unless there is a cold front passing through. We have missed a lot of the bad weather that is getting everyone further north.

Got my peppers planted on Friday. Hatch, Cali wonder bells, Cubanelles, new saved seed mini sweets, 2017 saved seeds mammoth jalapino and 2016 saved seeds Habs. All those in trays. Will have to put in cups once they start sprouting. Also did one swimming pool in sweet corn. It was a bitch to get the roots out of, and it was the cleanest one. Will be putting up fence around the section of garden where the peppers and tomatoes were last year.

I picked up some Hatch and Cubanelle seeds myself. Looking to try for a successful pepper grow this year...I don't know what I always do wrong, but I've never had much luck with peppers. I think I have some sort of jalapeño seeds, those would be nice for pickling.

I need to get some seeds started.

I'll be doing less this year. Most of the garden is going to be off limits. Will do the swimming pools, pepper pits and trenches, and a few bigger pots. Most of my sprouts will go to my thrift stores when they get big enough to transplant.

And I will be buying 2-3 mammoth jalapeno plants. The saved seeds ones are pretty good, but they are rounded on the end, not pointed like a normal jalapeno.

Here are my trays. No sprouts yet, but I've got to get some cups and soil mix ready. I was planning on digging another hole and covering it with the shower doors, but if it looks like the frost is over, I'll just run some wire around this area, and cover them with plastic if I have to. I don't exactly have an over abundance of time.

Tomorrow I have to run to town for a early doctors appoitnment and pick up a few scripts. I think I'll pop into Lowe's and see what kind of plants they have for sale. My garden isn't big enough this year to worry about growing from seed, I think I'll just use store bought plants this year. A few tomatoes, skip the peppers.. they don't do well here for some reason.

I'm late getting started this year. But I did go look at the wrecked shed where my lights were. Looks like some of them are alright. Will take a chainsaw to remove some bigger limbs off an oak, then I can see for sure what kind of shape they are in. Now I just need a shed to hang them in.

A cousin gave Sister a few tomato plants. They are 4-8 inches tall. She was trying to share them with me. Her plans are to spend as much time in Denver as possible, so no garden for her.

That is a heck of a garden.

I've never had any luck with early peas. Either a late frost gets them, or I'm late planting and it gets too hot before they are ready. {here in NW Florida}
