2nd Week of April

Thought I'd try to provide my garden plan, but had to take pics instead of uploading an excel file.  PDFs don't work here, either. The first pic is one of the 4 x 4s, the second is the whole garden. Red horizontal lines (if you can see them) are where the frames are located. Blank spaces are intentional, since the adjacent plantings take up so much space.

...thought the comparison between the tomato and oregano growth was interesting, but you can barely see the oregano. My photography skills need a bit of work!  There's about 6 plants in the smaller pod; I'm scared they're going to shrivel up and die - from being a little too wet - or a little too dry - or a little too warm - or a little too cool... you get the idea.  They seem so fragile!

Tomato plant stems are getting stronger (04.10.12). Second leaves are mostly out, so you can actually tell the tomato plants from other plants. There are 3 types of tomatoes and peppers above, along with a few cabbages.

Here, I ran through everything growing and compared it to what I was supposed to have.  I replanted some tomatoes, cabbage, oregano and all of the rosemary.  None of it has ever come up yet.  :-(  I'll keep this on a heating pad that I use a few times a day, and keep it covered with the plastic dome.  A few days after each pod sprouts, I transplant to something with a bit more dirt and start to get it used to the greenhouse a little each day. This 2nd replanting is still plenty early; I'm still out 6 weeks out from the usual outside planting time. I've noticed that using these discs isn't foolproof. You have to be careful about over- or under- watering with these...just like with any other planting container.

I've been keeping the plants outside in the greenhouse as much as I can. I bring them in when the temperature dips below about 40 degrees at night.  On days like today (4.11.12), it's in the 40's and they seem to prefer being zipped up in the greenhouse on a cloudy cool day to being inside under the weak lighting I have for them.
