Seedlings Get Set Out!


The greenhouse is getting empty. Farmer Boy has been busy, and he's got the sunburn to prove it! Over three hundred pepper plants - all planted out! It's very hard work, all done by hand, either bending over or on the knees. This year we've got bell peppers, jalapeno, Bulgarian carrot, hot Thai, habanero and banana. They are in plots, in little hedges for easy picking. Now there's just all one hundred and fifty tomato plants, a few more cabbage, herbs and some tomatillos to go!


Lovely Prairie thunderstorm last night. Not a lot of lightening, but some fabulous clouds and some good rumbling. Not a lot of rain, but probably enough to keep all the transplanted seedlings happy. We'll have to keep a good eye on them - they'll need consistent water for the next few weeks.

  1. Hello! OMG can you really grow peppers outside a greenhouse? Are summers warm enough for that? Zone 2 would be the equivalent of our zone 6 at 69 degrees north in Norway. I dont theik that would ever work here!
    So inspiring to read your blog!
    Have a great weekend.
