Early garden

The temps fluctuate around here too much for me to wait for "Spring" to do my gardening.

I've been keeping a close eye on my greenhouse during cool weather. On days when it's freezing outdoors, the planters inside feel warm to the touch.

This has boosted me to plant now.

Today, Pamela and I planted organic:

Serrano Peppers

Carrots

Heirloom Black Zucchini

Heirloom Brandywine Red Tomatoes

Lettuce

Marigolds
Green Bell Pepper

Stevia

Last Sunday, I planted my herb garden indoors by my kitchen. So far, the Sweet Basil has sprouted. The rest of the herbs take up to 2.5 weeks for germination, so I'm still waiting.

I'll be thinning the radishes later for companion plants to my beans, cucumbers, peas and lettuce.
Flowers are continually blooming. When the weather's warm, I keep the door open to allow the bees entrance.

The garlic I'd picked up from Whole Foods has sprouted. Hoping to get red potatoes next time.
