All the plants except the garlic and onion in my garden started from seeds on this table w/grow-light. This pic was taken 5/10/23. The seeds were sown 6 weeks before Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is last expected snow.

Above, various plants starting from year’s past seed stock to include San Marzano tomatoes, bell pepper, Tabasco pepper, Serrano pepper, Habanero pepper, Jalapeño pepper, Rosemary, Genovese basil, and Thai basil.  The other plants are in the ground and are perennial and survived the winter.

Green Bell Peppers. These will be dug up and winterized and replanted next year.
