It snowed a lot this week and the tomatoes we transplanted have continued their aggressive growth in their new pots. I’m starting to worry we planted them too early. By next week we’ll need to transplant them into even larger pots. I don’t know how long the large pots will last until they need more room, but it will definitely be interesting.<\/p>\n

We finally saw the top of a poblano pepper rising in one of the large pots. I’ve started calling them “slowblanos” because of how much longer they have taken to sprout than everything else. Of course, the black beauty (fat) eggplants haven’t come up yet either, but they were planted later.<\/p>\n
