We have been watching the soil in the greenhouse and gardens expectantly, hoping to see all our seeds come up. Some things came up quickly (beans, kale), but some things haven't come up in the 3 or 4 weeks since we planted them. Some of the winter squash, and none of zucchini's had come up – until today. And the peppers had been the most disappointing, as I had tried starting some from seed at the beginning of May in a tray, along with tomatoes and eggplants, and not a single pepper germinated. And again, we planted some in the greenhouse at the beginning of June, and none germinated – until today! The very first peppers, red cayenne, finally made an appearance. We had gotten so desperate that we actually purchased starts from a farmer at the farmer's market last week, just to try to improve our chances of having some this year. Maybe they're just really, really slow. So glad to see them all starting to come up now.
