We were hiking in southern Utah last week, so I didn’t post anything or take any pictures. Before we left I filled the trays with water, so the plants wouldn’t die while we were gone. They definitely didn’t die. Some of them are starting to look like monsters. The big peppers are about 10 inches wide and 10 inches tall. We’re running out of room on the racks. Surviving the next 3 or 4 weeks indoors should be interesting.

It was finally warm enough to venture outside and take a few pictures today. We had snow and rain 2 of the last 3 days, but I’m hopeful it will warm up soon. It looks like the Strawberries survived the winter. The peas and potatoes are starting to come up. The blackberries haven’t started growing anything yet this year. They always seem to start a little late, so I’m trying not to worry too much, but they were buried under a huge lake most of the winter. That can’t be good for anything. I’m hoping we can build a serious drain through the side yard sometime this year. I don’t like seeing lakes.
