I have chosen quite a few plants this year that I haven’t grown before now. There is a list of all of the seeds that were planted this year under articles. As usual I planted quite a few tomatoes and peppers but not quite as many as in years past. In years past I have notated the full name of my seedlings on wooden craft sticks. Starting a couple of years ago, I realized that I needed to find a way to limit the time spent labeling plants. I chose to simply use a letter and number sequence for each major grouping of plants. The plant ids are truly random and have not carried from year to year. A pepper this year has a prefix of “O” but last year had a prefix of “P”. At any rate, here are the seeds planted.
