Johnny is growing peanuts, maybe he has a good place to get them.

The cherry tomato plant I put in a bag of potting soil to grow is almost twice as tall as the one in a pot and the truck is twice as thick as the pot one. It is growing on steriods. The cherry tomatoes on it are twice as large as the ones on the pot one.

Wellll, I’m planting whether the seeds come up or not. See, I can’t imagine a plant growing from a small seed. If any of these seeds grow, I’ll change my mind that it works and I can do it.

The seeds I have planted in the ground in the places where the rose plants died and that I have planted in a planter attached to a brick wall and two long planters on the ground are marked by an “x”. The rest, except the strawberries, will be in the ground in another week for sure. Directions said to freeze the strawberry seeds for three weeks before planting to get a larger number to grow, so I’m doing that.
All are heirloom:
Lemon Basil
x Leaf Celery
x Wild Galapagos Tomato - plant later today
x Romanian Sweet Pepper
x Black-Seeded Simpson Lettuce
x Kentucky Wonder Bean (Brown)
x Zappallo de Tronco Squash - plant later today
x Evergreen Bunching Onion
Alpine Strawberry ‘Ruegen’ – in freezer another two weeks
Borettana - Cipolini Italian Onion
Armenian Pale Green Cucumber
Jalapeno M Pepper
Little Finger Carrot

That’s a great list - pretty ambitious for a beginning. Great Job!

I just got some tomato plants and the seedlings are still not ready to transplant, plus we seem to be having an extended cold period ie: late spring. I’ll for sure be using the bag method for some of them, since you are having great success that way.
