Sprouts

We have sprouts! After an initial sprout fail, our second set of trays have sprouted very quickly. Roma, okra, poblano, Kentucky Garden Beans, Oregano (AeroGarden), squash and bok choy have all sprouted so far.

Beans and Okra have out grown the seeding tray, so I am beginning to transplant those into larger containers for hardening off.

Just planted a new tray with jalapeños, kale, yellow squash, basil, and heirloom tomatoes.

A little about initial sprouting failure. We originally had the greenhouse electrical run off an existing 15A circuit. This resulted in overload when we added the AC inside (in addition to the AeroGardens). So we added a dedicated 20A circuit after recalculating the draw of the items in the greenhouse. Unfortunately, we started seeds in the interim and had several days of 100 degree temperatures, potentially causing severe heat damage to our little seedlings. Now, we are back on track and growing!
