Onion slips that I was planting

Love the knee pads bacpacker, I use them a lot! They make a huge difference! I have a few softer pair for my work, and I find them great for gardening. It hurts my back sitting on a stool or garden seat reaching, the knee pads work better for me!!

 

[Bacpacker]

Yeah they help. I was scattering the slips standing bent over. Back was throbbed. So knelt down. To plant them

 

[Bluedanube]

Onions, scallions, cauliflower, celery, and one variety of tomatoes are all up in my starter boxes. Finally see some leeks poking up today after two weeks. I also see a couple of pepper and eggplant seeds sprouting this morning. I was checking them and the cat tried eating my cauliflowers. He must think that the window sill next to his bed is a salad tray for him. I’ll need to plant some cabbage still. I’m pretty sure grandma wants to have me plant a bed for her when she gets moved over here, and I’m almost positive she will want pimento peppers.

Most of the onions have sprouted.

While a few varieties are slow to germinate most are being cramped by the low domes. Swapped in the high domes.

Fig trees are putting on leaves as well as the grape vines.

Blackberries seedlings are doing ok so the dome came off them.

The blackberry cuttings are developing leaves.

Most of the broccoli seeds have sprouted. They are still under a dome for now.

The only things not showing signs of life are the English walnut and grape vine cuttings. I have never to clone an English walnut tree. Time will tell.

I have broccoli and cabbage starting to sprout. Atwoods had strawberry plants for 99 cents today, so I bought a bunch. I'm tired of fighting a weedy strawberry bed, so I'm using a planter this year.

I was just looking at my strawberry bed yesterday thinking I need to make a run through it but weather didn’t cooperate long enough.

First tomato seed sprouted. I’m trying to control my planting this year. I tend to get carried away when they are such small little seeds. But then they grow!

 

[Heartbroken]

Y'all are making me anxious; I should have been starting seeds by now but just haven't had the time. Everything needs doing at once and I still haven't even begun to do the walls here yet, still living with the hideous 1970s decor. Hopefully I can get at the seeds on Monday or Tuesday.
I did go ahead and spend the money to buy a second greenhouse. They ship it on an 18 wheeler and you have to unload it yourself, so it's going to be interesting trying to coordinate the shipping company and the availability of help.

The only seeds I’ve started are cabbage, broccoli and peppers. Broccoli and cabbage are sprouted — just waiting on my peppers. Later I’ll get the leeks going an I have onion sets that I’ll be popping into modular trays.

 

[elkhound]

Dug out my onion sets i grew last year.The reds failed to keep and only about half to 3/4 quarters of martins bottle onions kept.I planted out the bottle onions and have high hopes of producing major amount of seed this year.

 

[Bacpacker]

Here is tha garlic and onions

My dwarf peach trees from Stark Bros. The planting guide recommended at least a 7 gallon pot. I used a 10 gallon but feel it’s too small.

Those are the columnar apple trees off to the left in the first pic.

No no no the 1970’s were not hideous. You are mistaken. They were

 

[Amish Heart]

Oh, yeah, the avocado green, harvest orange, shag carpet. I had a black long haired type bedspread I had to brush. And a waterbed in the late 70's. Very groovy.
Really, those were fun times. Muscle cars and bell bottoms.

You HAVE to keep us updated!!

 

[Tommyice]

Will do! Dad asked why I didn't buy ones to plant in the ground and now my evil plan has been exposed. If they are in pots, I'll be able to take them with me when I (or we, for that matter) finally blow out of here. They are hardy enough to survive upstate by the cabin with proper protection.

 

[LadyLocust]

I received my other order of seeds today. Wicked ghost, Trinidad scorpion, jumbo jalapeños, Myan habanero, some extra cow horns, and a new one as a surprise buena mulata. Next good day to plant them will be next Wednesday. Tray is all ready and waiting for them .

 

[Bacpacker]

Just ran across this. Might be worth trying to get a few early tomatos

 

[Amish Heart]

It's real popular to do around where I live. And also milk jugs with the bottom cut out. I didn't have luck with jugs, we get high winds and they blow away.

That’s what would happen here also.

My new greenhouse kit was delivered yesterday. Hoping my brother can come over and help me run the transit this week so I can start figuring out how I'm going to do the layout.

How exciting!! You know we will need pictures!!

I just worked up the big bush hog to run the fields and get them ready to start turning and dressing.
I will take the blade and run the gullies out as soon as I finish and then disk them.
Probably do a lot of Peaches and Cream Corn and have some for trade with our trader that does tons of purple hulls.
Sister in Law is out of town till late in the year with Niece so we are down a PEA picker HEHEHEH.
Potatoes, Tomatoes, Peppers, Lettuce, Onions, and Okra. maybe the apples and pears will do another good run.

I need to start some bees, we have had a lot of people that kept them pass, and the kids don't want to and have let them go.

I have a lot of places close with heavy white and red clover that would support a few hives. It is a pain to do unless someone will be willing to keep them after I catch the express we need bees though.
