Garden Kickoff 2011

So it was a totally beautiful weekend in Tucson. That, plus my belief that the last of the freaky freezes has past us meant that it was time to work the plants a bit.

Moved the pepper plants to 4 inch intermediate pots. Lost 3 paprika starts in the process, but everyone else seemed to survive the shock. We're re-seeding the paprika starts that died. Hopefully something will come of it.

We decided to ween the basil and thyme starts off their seedling pots as well. Genovese sweet basil on the left, thai basil in the middle, common thyme on the right.

Since the tomato transplants went berserk and are growing like weeds, it's time to set up the two new EarthBoxes with San Marzano goodness...

With the warmer temps, we're hoping the peppers will be ready for their EB's in about two weeks. That'll give me time to rip out the remnants of the winter crop, amend the soil and get ready for planting.
