I started some seeds today: Brunswick Cabbage (a free gift), Morris Heading Collards, and Five Color Silverbeet Swiss Chard (free from library). I'm supposedly behind on starting stuff, but last year everything got too hot when I planted earlier.
I still have Harukei turnips, bok choy, cilantro, and lettuces to plant. I still need to clean out the garden and planters for those since they will be direct seeded. The peppers are still in the ground, though I have plucked all the fruit (the poblano finally produced a handful or two of small peppers!).
The weather turned a little cooler for the first time this season overnight w/ lows near 60 and window-open weather today. It will get hotter again though, so I'm trying to be cautious about these winter plants. Some of them won't even germinate at recent temps.
Meanwhile, I have about 8 native hibiscus plants that are ready for permanent planting. Will I ever get an area set up in the side yard? Stay tuned.
