So I'm not keeping up very well with posting what I am doing for my garden but I'll keep trying.
The Limbaugh tomato seeds I got from Alana last Friday and planted six right away were already popping through by Monday and I potted them up yesterday. I thought all six had germinated but there were only five. Also, more pepper seeds planted (Napoleon and Jalepeno) were also germinating. I had bad luck with several other peppers this year, Nardello, Golden Marconi, Gypsy. I think the seed was just too old.
Yesterday I spent a few hours planting flower seeds. Not to put under lights, they are on their own in the GH. I have so many seeds I will never get around to planting them all.
Today I potted up more seedlings, kale, cabbage and flowers, Anchusa, Pineapple sage and lots of agastache. Still a lot more to pot up. I have three more self watering trays ready for planting. I never got around to doing any geranium cuttings this year but I'm not going to market so I don't need them to sell. I think I actually have enough for my pots. I think it's just habit to want to do them. I did take cuttings from my Tuxedo camilla and potted up four of them. I hope they root.
The pomegranate tree and blueberry bush we got a few weeks ago are looking really good. The blueberry is supposed to have huge berries and there are a few blossoms. I know I am supposed to remove them the first year, but of course I don't. I have no idea what to expect from the pomegranate.
Only one of the Rosella hibiscus survived after only a few germinating so of course, I soaked some more and then forgot them again, overnight. When I checked on them, some had already started to germinate. Not sure if the difference is they are seeds I saved last fall or what, but I planted them today as well.
Cold tonight so everything is back in the greenhouse and it's very crowed and messy in there right now. I covered up the tiny kale seedling I put out the other day too. It's very windy so I piled on leaves and tucked one end of the row cover into the ground. I hope it holds.
I have photos to upload then will post them later.

West wall. Over wintered tomato. The cart has my potting mix in. I sit there and pot up. Tight quarters. Flats of seedlings everywhere. Plus now flats of seeds planted.
