To do list for this weekend

1. Plant some more Amaryllis.
2. Clean up the Gladiolus bulbs I dug out last week and store them.
3. Plant the Swiss chard seedlings in the ground.
4. Plant the tulip bulbs. (I got a couple from my neighbor)
4. Clean the backyard.


I'll update on how much I accomplished.

Methi and Pepper harvest

I sowed some fenugreek seeds a couple of weeks ago and they are growing fast.

Here is the pepper harvest from last weekend.

Amaryllis

I bought 10 Amaryllis bulbs from a gardening co-op and they arrived last week. I planted 2 of them last weekend. I will plant 2 each week so that I have continuous blooms from end of Dec to Feb. It will take approximately 7-10 weeks to bloom. Based on my research they do well in pots but I am planning to put some on the ground to see how they do. They do not even need any soil, all the nutrients are contained within the bulb itself. My co-worker has one in a jar with glass stones.

Peppers

I am very surprised to see the pepper plants producing in fall. We have about 12-15 peppers growing in 5 different plants. There is nothing better than picking them and making sambhar :) So fresh and it's very cute to see my kids checking on them every now and then.
