Peppers

I transplanted most of my pepper plants into the tomato bed today. There is one pepper plant in front of each tomato, except for one...my Anaheim peppers are still a little too small so I left a spot reserved for one. From left to right they are jalapeno, cayenne, ancho/poblano, anaheim (coming soon), california wonder, sweet chocolate, golden wonder, dulcetta x3. Each transplant got about 1/2 a tablespoon of Sure Start at the bottom of it's new home and while I was there I also gave each tomato a heaping tablepoon of Tomato & Vegetable food.

Because I had 15 pepper seedlings and 10 spots, that leaves 1 ancho/poblano, 1 cayenne, 2 dulcetta, and 1 anaheim that will be going into pots in the side yard later this week. They will be joining my boysenberries and Martino's Roma tomato which, since I had it out, also got fertilizer today. 1 T for each berry plant and 3 T for the tomato. Hopefully I will get my herbs and those boysenberries into bigger pots this week as well.

The Hawaiian Currant that I put into a rockwool pot in the aquaponics bed may recover, but I'd say it's a long shot. Only a couple small leaves have perked up since yesterday and they are still looking mighty sad. The duckweed trough for my aquaponics setup is looking sad as well. I think I will do a water change on it this afternoon and get an air bubbler in there as well. The water from the change will come from my main aquaponics system. It has turned such a lovely shade of electric green over the last week that you can no longer see the fish, but this green water will be delicious food for the daphnia that I am hoping to purchase this weekend. I suspect that once the seeds in the net pots get going, they will outcompete the algae and this problem will resolve itself.
