Getting the Crops In

Strawberries!
I had the cover from something else.
My squirrels and birds like to uproot the plants.

Yesterday was a productive day for gardening. I planted my bare-root strawberries in the pink Greenstalk (along with two different strawberry plants from the hardware store). The plants, from Park Seed, arrived a week or two ago and I had plopped them in the fridge until yesterday. So they are used to cold-ish (38 degrees in the fridge).

23 slots, tomatoes on the right, peppers on the left
Peppers for a GS tower, most tomatoes for ground or pots

I started tomatoes and peppers in my Aerogarden. I believe my hydroponics gives seeds a week or two advantage. I also started some pak choi in the large Harvest AG, maybe for keeping inside, maybe for going out. All these new plants should be fine until I get back from France.

 

My brave little Golden Harvest!

I also had plopped some old AG tomato seed pods into the AG slim. They are from 2022 - I didn't expect much. But at least two plants have sprouted, one each of an Heirloom Cherry and a Golden Harvest. I would put these in a Greenstalk.

More plans, but it's raining right now, so thinking of inside things.
