we will sell 14 tomatoe varities, and 17 peppers varieties. maybe more than 17 peppers.

today we put up a new shelf byt he atirs and R moved over a lot of bananas. now i have room for peppers. Our coleus are struggling. I might but them under the lights. maybe ill put oxalis under there and get them growing again too.

need boxes of dirt - labeled.
3 mass plantings to a cream conatiner.

2 days ago a lamon aji sprout appeard. today going to check peppers. I counted 21 plastic square pots (2"x2") so i will use those for peppers and some tamtoes. time to put dirt in to plant our lemon ajis!


sunburst?
twilight - white mold
ornamental black jal - no mold, no sporut.
starfish - no mold, no sprout
wiri - mold

yel jal, mold, sprouted
black pearl, mold, start to spout.

choc hab, no mold, sprouted strong
PP Ghost - no mold, sprouted strong.
lemon aji - sprouted


so we have to plant: yel jal, black pearl, choc had, PPg, lemon aji. = 5.

26

planted seeds last night: lemon aji, yellow jalapeno, PPG, Choc Hab.
the lemon aji was the weakest, just barely sprouted. I hope it grows. te yellow jalapeno all had small sprouts, and lot of mold. PPG and Choc hab were the strongest sprouters. long healthy stems, soem even had leaves pking out. they looked perfect. PPG had pruple stems! it looked cool.

Black pearl will be planted next, it has small roots but lots of green mold. i put a selenium cap powder on them last ngiht, its supposed to kill mld. Wiri als o had 1 sprout, very small, and mold which i spt treated with a spray of alcohol. ive been using alcohol the past few days it desnt seem to kill the seed or the mold. maybe the mold stopped growing at least its hard to tell. Need peroxide. the SRP is overtakne with black mold it looks too bad to open.

today: plant BP. put selenium on wiri. Re-use 2 bags to sprout more peps.

Lemon aji has 6 sprouts now, almost has leaves out nothing in yellow jalapeņo yet. Ghost and choc hab are doing great. 2 oxalis pots have 1 sprout. Next to do: srp, yellow mushroom, nardello, shishito.



spray perxode before sprouting: SRP, Mushroom. Cayennes.

Save kleenex boxes. Save cream containers. Save berry boxes.

to-do: sell a few broms. Make kitchen window able to hold plants.(or move shelf to kitchen) clear bathroom shelf. move bananas around over desk to make room for 10 mass plantings - peps. in march/april- sell bananas to harold. people might buy more in spring.

use banana space to grow toms over desk in march.

grow more beefsteaks. more Paste tomatoes earlier.More yellow and red. Grow more cayenne, even red.

Richard wants lots of sugar rush peach pepper plants.
