Tonight I planted some more things under the grow lights: cilantro, endive, red had mexican wildflower, yellow coneflower.
The wildflowers are going behind the greenhouse. I also bought three fern roots when I bought the greenhouse accessories the other night. The ferns are supposed to do well in shade, and since the backside of the greenhouse faces north...
Also replanted banana and poblano pepper seeds, and thai long purple and rosa bianca eggplant. Only have one rosa bianca seedling and it is growing slow as molasses. Only have one banana pepper and two poblanos.

Fall Garden planting
Yesterday evening, I had this whole entry written about what I planted in my fall garden, and then when I clicked "Publish Post", blogger asked me to re-sign in to my account and lost the whole entry... weird?!
So, yesterday I planted in the root bed: lettuce mix with beets (both chioggia and golden beets), spinach and endive, and carrots. I planted kohlrabi in the rhubarb bed.
Last night for dinner we had fajitas the easy way, with veggies out of our garden. Mostly anaheim and banana peppers, with a few banana peppers from Melissa's house since I'm garden-sitting. Also used one red onion and one yellow onion. They are between golf ball and tennis ball size. I wish I knew how to make my produce bigger. It's a little disheartening when my produce is half the size of what's available in the grocery store. I know, the commercial growers use fertilizers and the produce is bred to be large, but does it really need to be that much larger than what I grow? Oh well, my peppers taste a heck of a lot better than storebought!
I sprayed my tomatoes down a second time with garden dust on Thursday. I also gave them a third helping of calcium nitrate. I noticed some of my squash still have blossom end rot, so I gave them a round of calcium nitrate as well.
