Up-potted some broccoli and cauliflower, will uppot more in coming days

And this is another reason why I'll wait another 2 weeks next year for broc, to avoid the need to uppot...

Argh -- the dry beans from last fall have weevils!! (Only the GA ones I think)

Noticed today that several of the jars of beans saved from last year have weevils inside the jars!  And escape holes in some of the beans -- including weevils inside a jar that had only pods that I had carefully inspected that I didn't see any suspicious holes in.

This definitely has me inclined to NOT do dried beans from GA anymore, only from the yard where I don't seem to have had this issue (knock on wood).

Although I guess I could always leave the dried beans for a year, during which hopefully any critters would have emerged, then remove those and eat the remaining beans..... 

STEVIA ALL DYINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! and peppers not great either

WTF!!!! All of a sudden the stevia is dying!  I thought maybe I forgot to water for too long, but now I'm thinking no, maybe they were TOO wet, or have a disease.

This will be the first year that I will have ZERO of my own stevia seedlings.  I had SUCH a hard time getting any of the germinated seeds to take -- I thought at least I would have 5, then buy the rest.  Very disappointing.  

And, the previously-best-looking pepper plant seems to have succumbed to the same thing.  Most of the rest of the peppers are stagnant / not thriving and yellow but that seems to be a different issue.

Lettuce sowed directly outside, next to the a/c

 A scattering of romaine, ruby red, and black seeded simpson.

Still tons of fungus gnats in outside plants, see them when remove from big plastic tub; still a few indoor fungus gnats but not a ton

Started peas soaking in bowl; tomorrow will move them to paper towels

^^^

Started tomatoes, tomatillos, and ground cherries

(The tomatillos are a purple variety, my first time trying growing tomatillos.)

(The ground cherries are from the collected seeds from a plant that grew really well in patio stones.)

Basil round 2 started bec several of round 1s dried out due to not enough watering and being in vermiculite

Basil started

Hardies starting to harden off -- and they will live downstairs/outside full time

Finally the days are becoming mild enough to start hardening the hardies.

I'm not babying them much in terms of being the shade -- putting them out for as long as the day is mild enough.

Won't start them in sun until later and will definitely do the sun part gradually.

Fungus gnats are still VERY much a thing so I'm glad to have these downstairs / outside.  When they come inside at night I'm covering them to prevent the gnats from invading everywhere downstairs.

Zinnias started

 Random assortment of talls, and yellow shorts.

Fungus gnats GALORE continues

The dunks truly seem to have done NOTHING.

SOOOOO many flies in the yellow sticky traps.

Several newly emerged seedlings have gone kaput, I'm guessing some of which are related to the gnat babies.
