How old are those San Pedros? They going outside at some point?
Here are my veg seedlings. I was a little late starting them, hoping they will be ready to plant by the end of the month.

The ones on the left are Italian Sunflower seeds I ordered
(totally different structure and colors but they haven't bloom yet but soon)
this is the red italian getting ready to flower should be cool
the one sunny on the far left has the best head but still smaller than last time! See the stretchy thin stalks compared to the bungee sticks I use to prop them up! there actually the old stalks from last year haha
Jalapenos on the third year and still pumping them out.. little to no vitality loss yet... Some are almost grocery store size meh ;o

Im really missing the help in the size and yeild deparment this time around...
Only had what was left in one bottle of my green FloraNova grow
for vegging but now not enough potash, phosphorus, K etc. for huge blooming heads!
Last year I had a few top out at 10-11 feet tall this time only 5-6 feet
I had both Flornova Grow and the Bloom plus a additive called Swell the hydro store sampled me
and thats the difference obviously so yeah lesson learned I suppose
Almost a side by side experiment, well not really but you know what I mean cya around IC
I need some MAXI!

Here are a few pics from the garden one month later.
The swiss chard and collard greens are doing excellent.
Almost all of the potatoes came up!
And here's a whole pack of green beans

I've always wanted to try canning but I'm paranoid about botulism, so I freeze all of my excess veggies.
it's really not hard, all you need is a pressure cooker. We have 3. The beans were cooked for 1.5 hrs @ 10 lbs with the temp at 255. This kills every thing. You have a bigger chance of contamination by freezing it.

The bees love my yard keeps them alive and busy w/o GMOs killing them on the farms
A K my boy planted several packages of mixed sunflowers seed last year. They didn't do to well and were over crowded birds ate most of them.
This year they came up on their own EVERYWHERE. Huge plants with the most vibrant colors I've ever seen. After some searching on the types. I found I have some of the most sought after colors.
cherry rose
velvet queen
shock o let (chocolate)
a few types standard yellows too.
I've found that people will pay up to $5.00 a flower at the farmers market for them here.
We're getting a booth to sell them and veggies also. I bet I can make more from the flowers and their seed. Than I will make from my organic veggies.
