¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Jalapeno

I can’t wait to make salsa and guacamole using my own peppers and tomatoes. I guess store bought will have to do this time.

Seedlings

I started hardening off all the seedlings this week so they can be transplanted in the garden this weekend. It is surprising how fast they wilt outside and get burned even in partial sun.

Pepper Sprouts

The Serrano and Jalapeno seeds have sprouted and the California Wonders are starting to peak through. A seed mat or a much warmer location is need for next year.

The tomatoes are doing well and I had nearly a 100% germination rate. I’ll need to thin soon or find some more friends wanting starts.
