While outside, spring seems to be taking its time in coming, inside the house, this year’s gardening plants are developing as they should. Above you see the result of the seeds I had planted when there was still snow on the ground outside. The coloring of the photo might seem a bit off, but that is because the plants are under some grow lights.
This is the start of the rather frustrating time, when the plants are starting to get big enough and should be transplanted into pots, but it is still too cold to keep them in the greenhouse, and once they are potted, they will really take up a lot of space, which is not available under the grow lights. What I usually do is pot them, then keep the plotted plants in the house overnight, then cart them out to the greenhouse so they can get some sun during the day.
The greenhouse is usually warm enough for the plants during the day, it is just the nights when it is too cold in the greenhouse. This moving of plants usually works out okay, although it gets to be a hassle carting them them back and forth every day.
It will probably be a month, before I can actually plant the tomatoes and chilis into the soil in the greenhouse.
