What's growing on, Beehaw?
Things are greening up nicely following a few warm rains, and some of our earliest fruits are beginning to set. A little busy this week but I'll be sure to add some shots in a comment a little later....

Starting a Serrano, a Hungarian cheese pepper, and a cherry tomato in my backyard! ( files.catbox.moe )
I've mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don't have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!

Potting continues here; there are almost eighty elderberries hanging out in our front yard right now in addition to the others (happy to share what the others are if anyone is actually curious). Overnight temperatures are still a little low for some of the transplants potted up this past week and I am running out of shelf space...
