My indoor growing space is bursting at the seams with mountain mint and some very leggy tomatoes I’m babysitting for a friend while she’s on vacation. The weather has been relatively pleasant though, so I’ve gotten a few more things potted and several more trays going now as well.
• Some grasses, elderberry, and Carolina allspice in pots with some hibiscus cuttings in the box
• Chokeberries, more elderberries, a few types of raspberries, and a few lowbush blueberries I’ve managed to keep alive after transplanting
• Even more chokeberries, and a whole other type of raspberry (these ones are red)
• Another round of brassicas started
• My worksite supervisor taking a break under a second type of mountain mint I’m growing this year
What’s growing on with you all?
I cut my indoor basil and mint plants way back because they were making a mess. I hope they bounce back! This week, I’ll go out looking for a couple pepper plants to try kratky for the first time outdoors. Basically, I make a big nutrient solution in a bucket, I leave the plant’s dirt slightly submerged in the water, and hopefully the plant roots into the nutrients and grows like crazy. I have a small backyard and no hose hookup so I want this to be a simple solution to grow red peppers or poblanos’ as well as a spicy pepper like a jalapeño or Thai chili. Step 1 is finding the seedlings!
I’m very excited to see how this works for you! Wishing you the best luck finding your peppers and remembering to take lots of pictures to share here
