We did a ton of transplanting last weekend. We got all the peppers moved up to bigger size plug trays, both the patio pepper and the quarts. And, of course, the ones we're going to put out in the field or greenhouses. Here they are after being transplanted.
Quinlan helped quite a bit this time. Usually he loses interest after half a tray or so, but this time he did about four trays by himself (or with very little help).
Lucas also transplanted some of his herbs. They don't make the tray look as full as the peppers do, but they had just as many roots. The herbs usually just take longer to put on top growth.
And Paul put some onions in bigger trays. I'm not convinced that there isn't an easier way to do onions. I might try an experiment if I can get him to part with a tray of them. Here are the transplanted onions.
The chickens are doing well in their new quarters, but we're going to have to get moving on some brooder boxes. There are a few hens that would happily go broody if they had the right location. Lucas has priced the wood for them, now we just need to find the time.
