There are about a hundred potted perennials out on my front lawn right now as the latest wintry mix hits our area, and someone dropped off a huge box of cell trays and small pots to us yesterday. Some of them will go to our local library for their gardeners workshops and to prep for their annual plant sale fundraiser, some will go to the Master Gardeners program for their spring fundraiser, and I will attempt to find space for what we end up keeping.

What's growing on with you all?

My kale sprouts are coming in very nicely! Trying from seed again this year and I'm feeling good about it. The heatwave just wrecked them last year and I wasn't on my game with watering enough, but not this time! I also have some other seeds starting to sprout as well: camomile, catnip, sunflowers and microgreens, as well as a few pumpkin sprouts that are starting to make themselves known.

My pepper plants are starting to bounce back from being over-wintered, and they always produce a big yield so I'm excited. I've added a few new species to the mix so we'll see how that goes. I'm looking forward to making hot sauce again, but this time I'll have ghost peppers to add to the mix >:)

My apartment balcony looks like a jungle, and it is my happy place, lol.

Yum! I was hoping to make hot sauce last year but there was just too much rain for happy peppers.
