thanks! 
 
im not sure which direction on the compass. I just picked the easiest spot to develop with the most consistent sun. now if the neighbor would trim his 100 year old oak id have a little more sun. lol

 
It looks in the pictures like it gets good sun.  like If there's a bright side to the tree, maybe you can use the shade strategically for your rocotos.

the space closest to the swing set gets the least amount of sun. still direct for a few hours but not all day like the rest.  that's where I planned on putting them.  that's if I can get them big enough to go in the ground.  might have to pot them up and wait till next year as tiny as they are currently.

You are developing quite the spread, Scott!
 
Can’t wait to see those plots full of green!

And just think, less lawn to mow[emoji16][emoji106].

that's a huge benefit!  I wanted to expand more but my gf gave me some bullshit about its even with the lines of the swingset.    I wanted to make it 6-8 foot wider. I have the space and plants for it.

It "could" get wider....by accident?
 
Rules to live by...just learn to duck

That's kinda the way I do it.  

 

[BDASPNY]

that was my original plan except she was standing right there and I didn't want to deal with all the noise.
 
it could still happen though.

 

[BDASPNY]

added compost to the garden this weekend.  what a wonderful smell in the air.
 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

[BDASPNY]

some plants are growing quick, while others just sit there.
 

 

 

 
i put the stragglers in the sun, hoping to encourage growth.
 

 

 

 
the rocotos are resisting growth the most.  ill prob pot these up and over winter them.

Nice looking garden spot!

 

[PaulG]

That's a fair amount of garden space, Scott.
That compost will make for a great garden
this season.
 
I know what you mean about some plants just
sitting there. Happens to me too. It's like some
cells or flats are just jinxed. I can never figure
out why that happens.
 
On the other hand, you have some great looking
plants. When those stragglers catch up, you will
have a boat-load to plant out!

 

[Devv]

Plot is happy now! When is dirt day?
 
You have quite a few plants there buddy, you gonna be busy!

I just wish they'd perk up or they wont be ready in time to go in the ground.
 
its going to a chore getting all these into the ground for sure.   im hoping the compost encourages growth.
 
I really wanted to expand. we'll see how it goes.

A little sun will probably do them a world of good!

Sometimes you get what you wish for, Scott 
 
Good luck with that little chore!

 

[BDASPNY]

the little plants got the first sunlight. since I need them to catch up. temps were 60-80 now this morning its 43.
 
cant get pods if they don't get in the ground. it'll be worth it!

 

[Devv]

Hopefully that's it for the low 40's, but, this year has been weird for us so far. We're still getting howling cold fronts...

its been weird here as well. I cant remember seeing 70s-80 in march before, def not this many times.
 
im hoping the cold is behind us so I can get these plants hardened off and in the ground.

Looks like the cold may be behind us here in VA but hang on to your plants tonight.  Supposed to have a front coming through with high winds and up to 2 1/2" of rain.  I brought all of my plants back in.  I wonder how many ants and aphids and spiders and what not's came in with them!!!  The wife may kick me and the plants out!!
