If a tree falls on your garden…

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.
