Tennessee Chapter GARDEN Thread

HEY!!!

Whatch'all planting this year?

I figure it's close enough to growing season to have seed trays started, and it might be a helpful thread to have in each chapter...

It's a prime time to get seedlings up and going in Memphis. It's been above 60 several weeks, and the farmers almanac (among others) claimed the third week in march would be the last of the bad cold for plants...

I already have one corn sprout (I was testing the seed packet) almost eight inches tall! But I have trays and trays laid out with seeds in them... I have a lot of seed starter trays from Ferry-Morse that I like to use for seedlings - each holds eight trays just like the ninepack seedlings come in at an arboretum or store. Right now I have five of them full, plans for three more, and potted plants starting besides.

I'm going to grow my tomatos on the back porch/deck in containers this year so that the vines can be strung over the deck rail, and a biggy this year is going to be lots of rows of corn...

The list so far:
Corn
Pumpkin (!)
Cayenne peppers
Habernero peppers
Anahiem Chili ("Relleno's" )
Hungarian Wax peppers
Beefsteak tomatos
@Weeks Seeds Giant Variety tomatos
~Some others I can't recall at the moment

This could be a fun thread, and may even be filled with "BS" (which is not a bad thing), but we could also swap pictures and advice here...

PS: I don't know the dangdest least thing about how to cultivate "PUNKIN'S", so any help will be desperately appreciated...
