Hello fellow gardeners! And happy kind of late spring!

This thread is dedicated to talking about what's going on in our vegetable and fruit seeding gardens, or just what's going on with the veggie/fruit seeds that we're growing.

Yesterday I started growing bell pepper seeds. Last year I used the same way with a melon seed: put them/it in a damp paper towel and put the damp paper towel in a plastic bag, and when the roots have grown, put into soil.

Sad story about the melons though: after a month of growing my seed, the vine had grown quite tall, and I was transplanting it into a pot with soil when I snapped it in half. D'Oh!

Anyways back to you guys! What's going on with your seeds? You got any advice you want to share with fellow members? Share it all here!

Happy gardening! Thumbs up

Nice! Haha I know nothing about Brassica, so I have to ask: when are you expecting to harvest it? Also, when did you plant them?

I start the seeds (Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,) February 1, transplant late March early April. Major harvest in May, The Chinese cabbage will be first followed by common cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. The broccoli will make side shoot after the main harvest extending their harvest into June. The others are one and done.
I also have salad radishes and pak choi in another location but they are direct seeded. I like brassicas.
I will repeat this September and add turnip, rutabaga, winter radishes, mustard

Great! It sounds like you're doing well. Haha right now I'm only doing Bell peppers, as you probably already know from my first post in this thread.
