It is what it is 2023

Under extreme pressure from my peers I am reluctantly starting my 2023 glog
Haven't actually planted any seeds yet, but it won't be long before I succumb to the gentle scent of compost, the lure of germination and the excitement of seeing a sprout
I am, however, cleaning all my plant tags if that's not commitment I don't know what is

that proper made me

Me too, but it was a painful laugh.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

unbelievable - annuums sown on 4/4 - everything shooting up except the Blacks. I am so bloody minded and determined I shall keep sowing until I get at least 1 sprout

 

[Tinkerbelle]

The bigger plants have been out in the sunshine today hardening off, think they enjoyed it. I need the space in the greenhouse.
I'll carry on putting them out now during the day unless it's freezing cold.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Not much going on on the chilli front - weather has been awful - hot day, then a cold, wet day - rinse and repeat.

Anyway, quick update - here's the goats

Wonder what "hot" feels like...

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Wonder what "hot" feels like...

well I say "hot" - about 18C so not hot hot

 

[MarcV]

We can only dream of 18 C currently

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Seeing as the weather is not conducive to playing outside - here's a quick update
Outdoor plants

Greenhouse plants - they do get put outside when it's warm

My "pet" gecko, Eddie Lizard, he keeps away the bugs

Indoor plants - thank you @CaneDog ETA forgot the pic of Peppa Peach, they're doing well
Mr Spezzano's Thai

Mulatto Islena

Er Ting Jaio

Inek Boynusa

@Ratatouille - definitely not papalo

 

[CaneDog]

Looks like your grow is coming along fantastically, @Tinkerbelle.

And wow! great work on the germination to have all those sprouts up and growing so quickly!

 

[Ratatouille]

It might not be Papalo, but do I spy cardoon (or artichoke) to the left? Love those!

 

[Tinkerbelle]

yep a couple of artichokes a friend gave me - waiting to go in the garden

 

[Ratatouille]

I have a hard time eating those. The flowers are so pretty.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

they're a lot of work eating wise, planting them for the flowers

 

[Tinkerbelle]

it has occurred to me, while I'm been up potting pepper plants all afternoon - that I have too many chilli plants
How did that happen?

[Ratatouille]

Please explain me the concept of having to many pepper plants. I do not understand.

I didn't think it was possible either - but sadly it is
and I've still got seeds in the incubator

 

[Nulle]

I'd love to see the look on your face if one of us was suddenly knocking on your door wanting to collect 50 pepper plants

 

[Tinkerbelle]

if that happened I would selfie for you

 

[BarbarianFires]

if that happened I would selfie for you

 

[Tinkerbelle]

that's it - the incubator is shut down until February 2024 and I really mean it this time
