Here are the over wintered plants labeled:
I potted some up to bigger homes this weekend – you can see the root growth:
We are really into the swing of things now:
New additions to the homestead – we got three ducks (2 are pictured) and 2 Bantam chickens.Meanwhile, the other chicks are growing fast!
Finally, another project – incubating eggs!

So, here is a quick picture update at to where we are. Â This is the first tray I potted up to. Â You can see the plants are doing well.
And here are the grow shelves in action.
My over-wintered plants are doing well.
I missed a watering and one of my plants dried up completely.
I’m growing a Key Lime tree from seed. Â It’s slowly coming along. Â I do not think I’ll get too many limes from it this year…
This was one of the first plants to germinate. Â The leaves are huge.
The chickens are growing as well. Â I had to change their bedding tonight.
I potted up 49 plants tonight from their starter cells into these 3×3 pots. Â They seem to really take hold after being in the new pots a few days.

It is March 20, and I’m still plugging away.
I’ve been able to get enough plants around that we’ll have a good pepper draft. Descriptions and final numbers will come in a bit, but for now here are some preliminary numbers:
I will have some more that are not shown here. I am not to far from potting up more Jimmy Nardellos, and a few other varieties.
Also, just yesterday, I planted some newer seeds that looked interesting: a Bhut crossed with a Yellow Brain Strain, and a different Scotch Bonnet.
Here are some more pics from around the homestead:
A seedling with 4 cotyledons! Â I’ve not seen that before…
Not sure what is growing on this fruit bush – hopefully it’s friendly
2017 Season – Post #1
I got off to a bit of a late start this year, but things are finally moving along, so I thought I’d get the grow log going once again.
Here’s a wide shot of the grow room:
And I now have to have a little temporary brooder in there!
They are coming along!
And here is like my 4th round of planting – filling in some gaps of some I didn’t get in yet.
These are my over wintered plants:
The chickens like to jump out already. Â I’m sure this won’t be a problem…
And here is a grow list as of now…
