I started 72 more seeds today. Part of the tray was a new variety of tomatoes, and the 20 cells or so was a new pepper I wanted to try.
The tomatoes are supposed to get on the bigger side, and the peppers are around 30K scoville in heat.
I’m really looking forward to trying both of these. I’ll start some more seeds tomorrow.
I’m currently using seed starting trays but want to eventually start using soil blocks or another type of tray, I’ve seen some that are open on the corners with an open bottom to air prune the roots and cut down on transplant shock.
Those, however, are a bit out of my price range for the time being. However, if I can sell some plants as I’m hoping to, I may use some of the money to buy bigger and better trays. I’m currently starting my seeds indoors.
After I get some more work done on the greenhouse, I’m hoping to be able to grow whatever I wish in it through the winter months.
A walipini would be ideal, and I may attempt one come spring, I’ve been wanting one for a while now and think I have almost everything I’ll need except time. Time is always in short supply for the things I want to do, it seems.
In any event, spring is approaching, and I’m feeling a bit more alive all the time. I tend to get in a bit of a funk during the winter until it’s time to start seeds and such. It won’t be long before there will be enough light to start working outdoors again.
I have a couple of raised beds to finish up and more containers to cut the bottoms out of so I can get them filled up and ready for plants.
I also plan on doing some more videos for YouTube and Tictock. The youngest, Brayzen, keeps telling me he wants to be a youtuber, I’ve gotten him a green screen and what I believe to be a decent camcorder.
He likes to help me whenever he sees I’m recording so you’ll no doubt become more accointed with his always smiling face.
We will also finish up the chicken coop in time for spring. I guess I also need to look at my blog from a different perspective. From what I’ve read, a typical blog post should be around 3K words.
Personally, when I’m reading someone else’s blog, I prefer shorter articles because I always feel pressed for time.
With working full time, raising three younger children and trying to get a handle on the homestead life so transitioning to a larger property will go more smoothly, vloging and blogging along with whatever else comes up during a normal day, there just isn’t enough time and once I get to around 400 words, I feel like I’m being a bit windy if you know what I mean.
In any event, I will try to work my way up into longer blog posts and hopefully increase the quality of the content as well. Since I’m mostly just sharing what we are doing and how things are going for us here, that may not be such an easy task.
Thank you for stopping by.
