Up potted White Currants.

Dahlias

 

This morning, I repotted The Dahlia tubers from last year's dwarf dahlias. Sprouts on two or three of the tubers; we'll see what actually grows. Do you have some more seeds in soil this year in order to keep the flower population up.


Also resealed The Joint between the greenhouse roof and the greenhouse walls. It appears that rodents like to pull out the styrofoam Stoppers. So I duct taped them all in.


Planted some hollyhock and calendula.


Also fresh water on all of the avocado starts.


Set out a few peas and one chard.


Replanted habanero, ghost pepper, bell pepper from the grocery store, and California Wonder Bell pepper.

Cape Sundew

 

My sweetheart brought me a gift yesterday: A Cape Sundew. a carnivorous plant, a tropical plant It needs nine hours of direct sunlight or so daily, needs to be in water pretty much all the time, and it each little bugs and aphids that tend to infest a greenhouse.


I'm a little bit cautious, because it wants to be between 65° and 100°, and that's a little sketchy here in the northwest. It's on the corner of the heating pad right now.


Up potted Scotch bonnet and Mad Hatter peppers.


Moved all the 6-in pots to the window sills, and reserved the trays Under The Lights against the garage for new ones.


Replanted ghost peppers and red habaneros. Ghost pepper seeds were 2022. Red habanero seeds were from 2020, so I added some 2022 orange habanero seeds there.


Planted some pumpkins and squashes.


Downspout Repairs

 

It's raining tonight. So I fixed up the Drain from the downspout.Temporarily, at least.

Too often, rain produces standing water on the greenhouse floor.
