| I started my Vegetable Gardening today by planting my pepper seeds indoors in cellpacks. I have 12 plants each planned of Japanese Peppers Slim Pim, Shishito and Fushimi. Now I have to get going on my tomato seeds. So the new season has started. What us going on in your 2017 veggie gardens? |

| I have three flats of 36 each planned so should be 108 plants. This afternoon I just managed to already plant one flat of 36. So if I manage to just fill those other two flats with the potting soil so that I can plant tomorrow I should be good. |

| True.....but it's so depressing to see all that snow & to know it will still be on the ground in April! |

Hurray for planting your tomato seedlings!! Aren't you going to have peppers? Or do you plant to buy those? |

| This year I will buy mine...sometimes I start them...not too much luck with peppers....cool nights up here on the hill.....I have put down black plastic some years & it seems to help. |

| I have always bought my pepper plants before but decided to get seeds and start my own this season. So far so good. Took longer than the tomatoes to come up but now most have showed up. I had a great year for peppers last season and lots of fruit. This in spite of the fact that I only had 6 plants. So this year wanting to plant lots more. I have discovered Japanese Peppers and I just love them. So easy and so productive. |

| Where do you buy the seeds for them, Rita? |
