Plot 22 & Winter Seedlings

I start with a new plot for this year (Plot 22 instead of 29). It sits uphill from my old one and part of it is blocked from the sun for some time during the day. Today I put in an order for some seeds from Johnny's Selected Seeds (hot peppers, a bigger/darker eggplant, yellow crookneck squash, turnips and some flowers). In addition, I stirred some mosser lee moss, perlite and some organic mechanics seed starting mix together and planted Kohlrabi, Swiss Chard and Collard Green seeds to be my first additions to the Plot 22 garden as soon as the end of February.

Moss:Organic Mechanics: Perlite (5:3:3)

I planted Kohlrabi seeds in this Bok Choy clamshell.

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.
