I haven’t done a good job updating, but the seedlings are going well inside. I planted squash and okra seeds about a week ago, and some extra pepper (pot-a-peno) to grow inside with a little cherry tomato too.
Most of the tomatoes got transplanted out to the greenhouse yesterday, and I also planted a few red fingerling potatoes for giggles.
I took some time lapse videos of the seedlings coming up, but they are too hefty to upload here.
Here are some update photos

I’m going to get started on seeds soon, but this weekend we planted carrots and leeks in the tomato beds, peas and kale (and a couple of chard seeds), and onions (red candy apple, walla walla, and ringmaster).
It’s been very very rainy, I fertilized today and put out a few more seeds.
The peppers, okra, and eggplant all got repotted into bigger nursery pots and will get some time to get bigger in the greenhouse. A beaverlodge and a lizano went in big planting bags in the greenhouse too (for now)
Put in all the plants today- tomatoes , squash, beans, etc. will do pepper okra and eggplant bags tomorrow
There were just a couple of peas coming up under there- I’m pretty sure that a v/mole ate my seeds. I sprouted some in the greenhouse and transplanted them in the rebuilt/repaired bed.
Along with the ones I planted in the box, hopefully I’ll get some peas out of it.
I repotted most of the seedlings and moved them to the greenhouse (heater set to 52).
I think the pods>small pots was the way to go. Other than plant light misfire, the tomatoes got big and strong.
I potted one orange pepper plant and brought it inside.
Moved some tomato starts over into 2” pots, and ordered some more pots that size so I can do the rest and the peppers.
Planted squash seeds inside, and okra, and eggplant, replanted the peppers that had not come up, and a sweet million tomato.
I put some new pea seeds in that bed, but I have a feeling they are just being eaten up by something (vole? Mole?) from underneath, so I also planted a few in a pot up by the house.
