A Little Chilly

Today it is -14 in Richmond, VT and a bit cold to be thinking about gardening, but I've been looking at seeds anyway. 

This coming year I'd like to try to grow a few more pepper varieties and tomato varieties. 
I found some on Burpee.com that I thought looked nice!
They are hybrid tomatoes:
1. Kings of color-which is just a mixed seed packet
2. Golden Mama
3. Tumbler
4. Black Pearl Hybrid
5. Sweet Tangerine
6. Italian Ice
7. Red Lightning
I think I'll choose 3 types to grow and save the others for another year. 
I also want to grow Banana peppers and Cubanelle peppers this coming year too.  Both are a sweet variety and good for salads and sandwiches.  This year, I think I may plant my sweet peppers and hot peppers on opposite sides of the garden this year to prevent cross pollination.

I've been getting ready for March by getting some better grow lights.  And that's about it.  I'll be checking on  my ginger that I started to grow in the fall.  It should have a little extra bulb on it by now! So that will be exciting to see; since it's buried, I can't tell if it has been doing well or if I've been watering a dead ginger plant. I'll post pictures if it works out!
Cheers!
