Every year I start a variety of plants from seed. Normally I’ll plant a few but then I often end up with maybe one or even none germinating so this year I planted a ton, probably about 14 of each plant. Out of dozens of plants I started from seed maybe only 5 seeds didn’t germinate so I had waaaaaay too many plants to handle. Since I don’t like killing anything I kept them all and now my entire deck looks like a jungle. I planted the ones I know the deer won’t eat but I still have soooooo many. Not only do I have too many plants, I also don’t remember what they are. I originally labeled every one of them but as they grew and I transferred them to larger pots I didn’t bother to keep labeling them all because I told myself I’d remember. Well I don’t remember. So now I’m not sure if the peppers I’m holding are mild banana peppers or one of the spicy 🌶️ variety I planted for my husband.
I keep telling myself I’ve learned my lesson and won’t plant as much next year and I’ll label everything but who am I kidding.
Next year I plan on getting into cut flowers and eve try one knows there are too many of those to choose from so my deck will be just as full in 2025 as it is this year. I think maybe next year I’ll have a plant sale for people to come and buy some of my inexpensive extras.
