Some sowing problems

The best temperature for tomatoes and bell pepper I think is around 20C-25C but in the window where I keep them it gets closer to 35C, even with the window open. And then I forget that the window is open and the sun starts to go down and suddenly it’s 15C instead. Jumping around between 35C and 15C is probably not great for them

Bought some potatoes, “Cherie” and “Amandine” which is French. Put French on it and I want it, it’s the magic word for me. I will make some French potatoes gratiné with leek and garlic, hopefully, this summer. Oh and I have to look into have to save and store some potatoes so I don’t have to buy new one ever year.

Tomatoes and bell peppers

Got the seeds today and planted them right away, 4 pots of each with 2 seeds in each pot. Placed them in the window in a mini greenhouse. I got "Promyk" tomatoes because it said it would bare fruit early, knock on wood. And it of course looks pretty at the seed companies website, mine will not look like that, I know that much.

For bell peppers I got "Marconi Rosso" but I think I might have written Maricon instead on the pots, ooops. It's an early kind and hopefully I will get some bell peppers this year, and tomatoes... and cucumbers but I won't sow that just yet.
