Garden Happenings

This sleepy Sunday morning has me perusing through my seedlings. 6 types of tomatoes, 4 types of peppers (a very low count for us), 2 types of eggplants, 4 kinds of onions, herbs and flowers galore...is it spring yet?? What do you have growing this #seedlingsunday ??🌱

Scotch Bonnet peppers or as my husband affectionately calls them, Scotchies. 😂 I'm loving the little serrated edges on the leaves. 🌱🌶️

One week ago today, I set up a seedling experiment in response to a question posed by a friend. I had talked her through the seed starting process and when I mentioned potting up seedlings she asked if that was necessary; a completely reasonable question. I had suggested that it would help her plants get bigger and stronger faster and then decided to "put my money where my mouth is" with a 14 day side by side trial. After just seven days, you can see that there is a clear difference between the plant that was potted up and those that are still in their original pellet. I honestly feel a bit guilty about letting the little guys go for the remainder of the two-week experiment. 😥🌱

Anyone else have marigolds started? I usually just scoop up a pack for $0.99 at a local shop when the weather gets warm but I've received so many seeds in swaps that I thought I'd try my hand at starting my own. So far so good!

A beauty indeed 😍 are Purple Beauty bell peppers on anyone else's planting list for 2021??

This is the first time I've planted more than one or two varieties of tomatoes in many years and I am, admittedly, giddy with excitement. What are your favorite tomato varieties and why do you love them??? 🍅

Zone 7a have you started your peppers yet?! I have a number of herbs, flowers and veggies started but peppers have always held a special place in my heart. We aren't doing many this year because of the cicadas (brood 10 surfaces every 17 years 😬) but luckily we made powder from eight different varieties last year to get us through. Can you tell I have spring fever??

It's a snowy day in the neighborhood but have no fear, there is no shortage of peanuts at the Rice household! To all my Mid-Atlantic friends, stay safe and cozy. Cheers! ☕🐿️🌱

I told myself I was starting tomato seeds on February 1st and this morning it dawned on me that February 1st is MONDAY! How on earth is it already February?! Regardless, I got enough seeds sown for myself and half of Maryland. 🤣 Looking forward to transplanting strong seedlings in March. Bring on some SPRINGTIME!! 🌱🍅

A lot of seedling pics lately, I know, but the first set of true leaves is coming in on my moss curled parsley and it was too adorable not to photograph. What are your favorite #parsley varieties?? 🌱
