Kitty ate the leaves off one of my pepper plants.
Starting Serrano seeds in napkin today.
We have 100 plants up top and 40 on my bookcase. Took away 2 that were dead, yellow jalapeno and jalapeno. Looks like some more might be dead. Forgot to water for one day. Been watering every other day. One tray has plants with four leaves now! One type is Bolivian rainbow, can tell because the plant is a dark blue-ish green.

Planted some yellow jalapeno and poblano last night, and the last yellow lunchbox. planted 2 red lunchbox, one last one to go. Threw out serrano, orange lunchbox, anaheim seeds as they were going bad. About 4-6 yellow jalapeno left, and about 4 poblano left to plant. Poblano is still sprouting, they are the slowest. Almost done with pepper planting. Getting ready to do tomato planting.

14

Planted 6 poblano. Threw out the rest of the seed and most other seeds waiting to sprout as mold got them. Put new Serrano to sprout. Almost done with peppers now.

6 habaneros have sprouted. planning on not planting any more peppers, at least until we get some fresh peppers or buy seed on april 1st.
Planning to plant our tomatoes, we have 25 varieties. Trying to make room for these mainly in the bathroom this year.
Planted 7 habanero seeds. 2 didn't sprout. Watered today, after 2 days not watering.
Did a quick count and we have at least 7 Poblanos growing well.

29

Didn't water for 2 days and now about 3 plants are dead. Put them closer together now. Much less sign of mold, though. Getting ready to plant tomato seed tomorrow, and ground cherry seed.

feb 26: currently there are roughly 10 containers worth on the shelf - all peppers, = 100 plants.
25 toms x40 per cell = 1000 plants.
Note: make tomato containers slightly on the big side.

Planting plan:
We will have 17 large pots to use for peppers, and also some smaller ones like the blue ones. Last year we used 15 pots for tomatoes and 1 squash. (some pots are not counted because they're not in the picture). At least 3 not pictured pots had poblanos in them (total: 20 pots). Didn't count the lunchbox pots, we'll likely put lunchbox in there again (2 or 3 pots).
2 holes in the ground: kiwiberry, or plant it further back toward the house.

Plan(large pots): Poblano - 6 pots
chocolate shepherd - 2 pots
Anaheim - 3 pots
Jalapeno - 3 pots
Yellow Jalapeno - 3 pots
Serrano - 2 pots (total: 19 pots)

Smaller pots:
Habanada
Yellow Cayenne
Habanero
Bolivian Rainbow
Chinese 5 colour
Lunchbox

More Serranos
More Jalapenos



May also need pots for Husk Cherry and Tomatillos.

Secretly want to grow: green sausage and tom thumb in containers, as they are determinate (small).
