Planting continues...

In addition to saying hello to the greenhouse cat, this week we planted several trays of hot peppers and sweet bell peppers. (Those marked with * are varieties sown from seed saved by Ginkgo — that is, we didn’t buy the seeds, we saved them from plants grown in previous years.)

Sweet bell peppers

• Bull Nose
• King of the North
• Wisconsin Lakes
• Yankee Bell [not grown in 2009]
• *Orion [not grown in 2009]

Medium-hot peppers

• Poblano
• Jalapeño

Hot peppers

• *Thai Hot
• *Red Rocoto (a Peruvian variety)
• *Aji Cristal
• *Yellow Mushroom and *Red Mushroom
• *Fish
• Habañero

We’re going to wait a week before sowing the tomatoes. Last season we sowed them a little early, they got spindly, and once they were planted at the garden a windstorm hit, destroying many of them. We’re trying to learn from our mistakes.
