Just took 2 trays of seed down to my brothers greenhouse this morning before work. They been sitting on my DR table pushing two weeks maybe. 3 cups already busting sod. Two okra and one mater. Kinda odd since okra seems to always take it's time sprouting. Not as slow as peppers. I need to go ahead and drop some brussel sprouts and let them get started.

GVG and I decided no growing this year. Herbs with lot's of basil. Plan to begin a rosemary bush that we can bring inside in the winter. Also going to begin a Thyme plant that we can bring in. Other than that, concentrating on building deck and patio.

THen you'll decide you need a couple maters to go with the basil. It will snowball. And you will have no deck.

Actually we have an Amish store right down the street. Maters galore!

Mennonite group is building 3 houses and a huuuuggge what I guess will be a store right up the road. They bought some acreage that I never saw for sale sign on. Curious to see the collection.

We went once to the Amish community accross the KY border from Celina. Boy, this group sure wasn't like on TV. Mostly bare feet up to a certain age. Only visible women were working the store. Not a neat and tidy farm community at all. Houses that are only sided in raw plywood or similar. No siding, no paint. didn't buy much. Some were cross eyed IIRC.

I now have 14 pepper plants/sproutlings. Maddeningly, I only have 7 mater sproutlings. The cherry and San Marzano just don’t want to germinate.

The tree pollen is everywhere. Even the pines are pumping out their profuse yellow granules. [hack]

Did you soak the seed?
I have before and if you forget to check them ---well.

No. Don't soak them, but I do start them in seed cups in a green house, so they get plenty of soaking. I just went to water them this morning. Don't think my maters and peppers have had enough time to germinate, but the two okra that were peeking out looked like they got burned off. I was a little late watering. But i drop 3 seeds per cup, so I'm gonna hold out another week before re-trying.

Take that back....If i direct sow them, I will soak them in wet paper towels, in a sandwich bag.

You can see the path through the pollen to the side door on my decking. Pollen season is a weather event on the southern piedmont. Counts are in the thousands for several weeks. Most of what’s visible in this picture is tree pollen.
