This is how I end up with 2 times the amount of seedlings as I have space for. Not a bad reason to get to know your neighbors, though.
I'm jealous of your variety!
Well it does mean I can select the strongest contenders too for the next round transplanting outdoors, they need to survive a brutal hardening too. So lots can still go wrong. Haha.
Bought a bunch of seeds, didn’t work out last year, so still trying to see what’ll work and taste good.
I’m one of the few on my block who garden though.
I prune my tomato and pepper plants, but then I re-root the parts I've pruned off, so I might end up with 3 plants for every seed.
I've heard the really spicy peppers are hard to get going. I just finally spent money on a heating pad and humidity domes, and that has really helped my success rates.
That’s an option, but not in my climate, by the time they root, they’re too far behind to fruit. I trim off a few branches and bury the suckers usually.
There was a couple cultivars that didn’t sprout, I’m still giving them some more time.
The issue here is the 90 day frost free days. We can get up to 120, but that’s doubtful, and peppers also stunt under 15c, so long before frost is an issue. So you need decent sized plants to throw out at the end of May. Anything that continues into Sept and still produces is bonus.
Most tomatoes also stunt under 10c, so without extra cover, your growing days for these plants are a couple months at most.
Edit not my province, but great info.
