Well, last years grow was a mxed bag - the early harvests were huge, and well beyond my greatest expectations, however a tropical storm wacked my plants for the rest of the season and I barely harvested a couple of pounds, and lost hundreds of plants.
This year, I'm hoping the tropical weather stays away, and have a plan for recouperating the plants if one strikes again.
Last year I started a lot of my sprouts in my garage at whatever the ambient temp was in november. This year I took a step to help control the temps a bit more than last year - I picked up a 5' by 5' greenhouse from big lots. Its made of thin steel, and thinner plastic, but if I get a year out of it, then it was money well spent (~40$). Next year I'll wrap it with some visqueen or something...
OH! also new since last year is a new camera - last year I was using (and still have) a combination of my cellphone, and a canon sx20. This year I'll be using my shiny new (used) Canon rebel t1i. I've moved into the DSLR world, and am loving it. it takes great low light picturs (and regular light, and great when there is too much light... its a great camera hah). However I forgot to take pictures, and will have to add them tomorrow.

As always the glist is a work in progress. I have some that overwintered outside. But I'm not going to count any of them until after Jan 28th (last frost date).
I've started about 400 seeds, with plans to add 2-3 more 72 cell jiffy greenhouses in the next few days.
Anyone know of any good varieties that I shoudl be growing but am not? (reapers are on the list... have to trade for some i guess).
my seed list is up at jsschrstrcks.com
