Potted up all the peppers. The Red Bell Peppers are up to their last pots before being planted out next month. HPs might be in their last pots, maybe not;>. No sign of sprouting in the eggplants...much to my annoyance.
Thanks to the irratic Temps this late Winter/early Spring has caused the Turnips and Daikon to bolt. At least the Japanese Green Onions are doing well. The Lettuces are growing like gangbusters, if I can keep the weeds from taking over! I'll finish Harvesting the European Spinach next week or so. I've got a couple of weeks left of Swiss Chard though.
Trying to decide whether to plant the Soybeans and 'Crapaudine' Beets(the oldest cultivar in existance!)next Sunday or the week after. Living at the edge of Temperate and Subtropical Biomes can be a bit tricky around planting time.
There was some Chewing Sugarcane two months ago at our local farmer's market so I bought some and made Cuttings....two of which have sprouted! The 'Pele's Smoke' Sugarcane didn't survive my Dad's greenhous but a stump of it did in mine(backup;>). Unfortunately, while prettier than commercial Cane it has a nasty grassy taste...like slightly sweetened lawn-clippings. And compared to other Ornamental Grasses it's pretty sad so I think I'll try keeping the Chewing Cane going and let the other be replaced by one of the nice Switchgrasses.
Cheers,
Pat
