The madness continues. Day before yesterday I planted the last big batch of seeds. I planted eighteen each of Kermit Hybrid eggplant, White Star Hybrid eggplant, Giant Marconi Hybrid Italian sweet pepper, NuMex Big Jim New Mexican pepper, Purple tomatillo, Verde Puebla tomatillo, Big Zebra tomato, and Copia Tomato. Tonight I planted twenty-five each of Paul Robeson tomatoes and Rutgers tomatoes. I've also attempted to get some old sweet peas to sprout, but that does not seem to be working. The solanaceae total is now somewhere near 400, I think. Once I plant the other tomatoes and peppers and the potatoes, the genus will be represented by somewhere in the neighborhood of five hundred plants. I also just transplanted three more of the avocados that I hope will become the centerpieces of the greenhouse in the next year or two. The oldest of them is now about a year and half old, so we should have fruit in two more...
