Quick trip round and update


Pretty needless but my life has been itself lately --somewhat crazy with that lets try to get back "on task" shall we? 


Here's how the seedlings presently look they were better but I left them out the bigger rounds in zip locks and the flat with its lid overnight on a decent day/night (over 40) to harden off then when we had a frost advisory I shoved them back into the ziplock/lid to protect then back open the next day and by now I think most of what's left should make it to planting in a few weeks or so 


Then on to the rest? Plan this year is cut down most of the containers and replace all the dirt --most of what you see will be weeds (manly dandelions) but even then there's still some visible like the chives in here






I have yet to see more then under-bark green from the goji to say it's alive but that will be its pot assuming it comes back (or I'll get another goji) 







I'm still uncertain what's in here but being its 3rd year I hope it shows itself! 


This peony has gone thru hell! It was out in winter in our zone 5 climate in a pot something like a 5-6" thin plastic from the store --so if you're looking for a tough flower here's one suggestion

Garbage find and replants


As some may know I work at a truck stop resturant that occasionally means perks --well I found some of these in the cruddy cart we use to take the trash out as well as a bag then later a case I got the bag of them the ones in the trolley ended up dirty and manager got the case of them but I have plenty 




So I took and decided they would make great intermediary planters for my seedlings allow some roots but shouldn't be too insane 


Some I left in the dixies for the time and ones in a larger clear cup


And I'm not sure about how/if the cranberry will survive but I think the strawberries are all lost sadly LUCKILY person said easy return of on mperks at meijer because nothing came up and the kiwi is kinda limping --well I gotta think about getting back to work more getting over and seeing the state of things

Sad state with survivors


So really I should have a ton more then this that's still alive but I'm me so I'm not the best at starting indoors and that this much is doing this well is giving me hope --so what's left in no order includes 

Aloe 
Prickly pear 
Zavory pepper 
Marble pepper 
Mini sweet pepper 
Chinese giant pepper 
Verigated 3-color pepper 
Unknown basil 
Coyote tomato 
Convolvus 
Spring flower mix 
Sweet datil pepper 
Money plant 
Unknown pepper (don't look pepper but is seed leaves) 
Hot cherry bomb pepper 
Monkey face pepper 

Im also starting to try to work out what and where I'm gonna get to have in my garden aside from these and with my mom paying to replace the dirt I'm gonna buy myself a couple fruits thinking get a big planter at Costco possibly 2 and get a couple blueberries for one maby grapes or something for the 2nd I know I want growth to look somewhat similar and if my goji fails (it's still green near tips and I've heard it's really slow to come back) she will have to replace it as well 

So any suggestions on what fruits I should get that will work in containers? Note: strawberries hate me!
