More Early Spring Planting

Herbs: Dill, Sage and Thai Basil

Roma Tomatoes

Three Roma Tomatoes, a Brandywine Tomatoe and Eggplants (Trader Joe's Coffee Container)

Bell Peppers

Anaheim Chile Pepper Germinating from the chile pepper plastic tub


Today I planted four nasturtium seeds in the garden and the radishes it seems are starting to germinate (or they could be weeds but I don't think so). The sketch above shows what's in the garden so far.

Indoors, I planted a new set of leeks in a plastic egg container. I also planted a yellow honey tomato, zucchini, cucumber, and some calendula in yogurt containers. I used the organic seed starting mix from the Takoma Park Coop Store (Organic Mechanics). Hot peppers are starting to germinate (Anaheim ones first).

The garden is getting some good rain today.  Last week they got rain on Thursday/Friday.

Herbs, Onions and Flowers


Today I planted parsley, sage, dill, chamomile, thai basil, leeks, scallions, and marigolds using yogurt, ricotta cheese and solo cups and egg cartons. I don't think these will work as well as the plastic egg cartons but we shall see.
