PismoBeach's blog: End of January Updates!

So I planted seeds and put them on the warming mat last Sunday, and today I have lots of germination! I planted a few seeds per pod, which will be thinned later. The tomatoes have gone nuts, the coleus is up, and I see little curled peppers getting ready to pop!



While I didn't do much in the last week besides obsessively check my seedlings, yesterday I dethatched my postage stamp front yard. I killed off the whole lawn in the fall, as it was overrun with weeds (thank you neighbors!), and while we're still a couple months off from reseeding, it'll need some attention between now and then! So I pulled the rake horizontally over the whole thing and filled my green waste trash can. Next week, when I have another trash can to fill, I'll continue collecting leftover thatch, and pull the rake vertically and call it a day! Once it warms up a bit, I'll seed with a shade/sun mix, starter fertilizer, and cover with some topper!



I also need to weed my front planters and put down a new layer of mulch to keep them at bay.
