Activities

February 1, 2026: Started first set of seeds indoors (lettuce, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, and hot peppers)

February 15, 2026: Started a second batch of cabbage and broccoli as well as

March 1, 2026: Re-seeded the lettuce and spinach because it was overwatered and invaded by fungus gnats. They appeared to be stunting or killing the small seedlings on the top shelf (lettuce, spinach); but the cabbage, broccoli and peppers on the lower shelf seemed unaffected so left those to continue growing.

Started tomatoes, sweet peppers and more hot chilis.

San marzano, peacevine, and super sioux tomato seedlings week 1
Broccoli (front) and cabbage (back) weeks 2 and 4
jalepeño, cayenne, habanero pepper seedlings week 5
jalepeño and sunshine bell pepper seedlings week 2 (sunshine in back row)
Buttercrunch lettuce and spinach seedlings week 1 (spinach in back row)
Red iceburg and mantina lettuce seedlings week 1

March 19, 2026: Having unseasonable heat, decided to go ahead and plant radishes, carrots, and beets. Planted two rows of four planned for each plant in Bed 1 (previously grew peas, beans, and cabbage)

Also checked on garlic and found it had sprouted nicely over the winter (October 2025 planting)
