Potato's going in, Seedling Update

First, the potato's.  The buds have come in well, I'll only plant the strongest buds in the bags.  The red's seem to have budded a lot more than the Russet's have but both are good enough to plant.




I might be going a little much with how many I'm planting in the bags but we'll see when everything is mature.  Bag one 4 Russet, Bag two 5 Russet, Bag three 6 Russet, Bag four 6 Red.  I'll weigh the yield to see if the amount of plants made a difference or not.

Bag one, 4 Russet
Bag two, 5 Russet
Bag three, 6 Russet
Bag four, 6 Red


Now the seedlings.  True leaves have emerged throughout the seedlings.  Everything except the Cayenne peppers seem to be doing well.  Might have had a bad batch of seeds with those, none have germinated and I replanted.



Celery is coming up, very young, just took longer than I expected.  I added the second flat which has onions, eggplant, spinach, sage, and oregano.  A lot of it is coming up now.



I started watering with a mixture of fish emulsion to give the seedlings a little boost.  Looking at the warmer February and March, I may be putting plants into the garden a little earlier than March 10th.
