91 and counting!

Took a quick count this morning. I'm up to 91 tomato plants so far! Ones in the photo are the largest so far. Not feeling too bad about this for March.

In previous years, If I had 91 plants, I expected maybe 1/3 of those to survive. Learned a lot over time and now expect more than 80 to survive and produce. (Barring dog incidents.) One huge difference is my own patience in planting them out.

I'm seeing more and more pepper plants. Man, they grow slowly! 

I set the sprinkler on a timer to run several times a day. Lettuce and spinach are growing better but still tiny. Just as well, with frost this weekend. Expecting them to blast off starting next week.
