My wife is suddenly into gardening so guess what I had to do this weekend. And yes I know the fence is leaning, I’ll get to it eventually.

Picking up 5 cubic yards of compost next week to mix in. Lucky me, I get to till again. That's a great start. I would add vermiculite, perlite, alfalfa pellets, coco fiber, expanded shale. Those are the few right off the top of my mind. Not expensive and easy to source. You can add lava sand. It's cheap. Come spring I would add lots of dry molasses or liquid. You can add it now, but with the cold temps not a lot of soil activity going on to break it down and make it plant available. Basically, what I'm saying is buy as much censord as you can that the budget allows to improve oxygen flow and improves microbe activity. Not that hard. That and quality fertilizers and you'll be golden.

Freeze got my onions, think they will resprout? Mine are looking pretty rough this afternoon. I still see green growth in the center so I think they will be fine. Next 10-14 days and we'll know.

If i remember ill get pics in tomorrow. From the grocery store experiment the aneheim peppers are looking really good. Tried a different poblano from a Mexican grocer none of the first one sprouted. Kiwi, red dragon fruit, yellow dragon fruit, papaya, and goji berries are all up and on the way. Will be starting regular stuff like herbs and tomatoes this week.

Wife’s getting an early start Nice! That's a great looking setup. Depending on what the lights are and putting off, I'd probably lower them and get them closer to the plants.

Picking up 5 cubic yards of compost next week to mix in. Lucky me, I get to till again. Got the framing done. Still waiting on compost. Place that wife is getting it from said another week or two then lucky me I get to till again. The things I do for love. Well that and she lets me go fishing whenever I want.
