We bought some giant pots this year, so we felt comfortable planting a few things a little early. So far we’ve planted 8 pots:
2 x Eggplant
2 x Jalapeno
2 x Habanero
2 x Poblano
Hopefully the pots are big enough that the roots won’t run out of room to grow before we have a chance to plant them in the spring.
I’m still hoping we can find some Cayenne Pepper seeds. I’m surprised we haven’t seen any. Also we still need seeds for dry beans (black beans, pinto beans, etc.) and the fat eggplants. We may need to special-order some of those. Giant Pots
We’re not messing around this year. I got so upset with the tiny seed starting sets we had last year that I refused to buy them this year. In fact, I super-sized just about everything. I’m hoping it gives the starts enough room to grow roots unencumbered this year. I guess we’ll soon find out.
The garden supplies are just starting to show up in the stores, but we’ve already been to IFA and Smith’s to see what we could find. This is what we have so far:
And if that’s not enough to convince you that we’re not messing around. It’s still February and I planted a few seeds today! Maybe that just means I’m crazy, or a little too excited for the upcoming season… or maybe I just have too much time on my hands. No matter which one it is, I think it’s going to be a great year.
