I've filled 2 gardens, but am saving room in the 3rd for tomatoes and peppers
Yeah, I had more seeds than room to plant them all by far! I’m going to add some potatoes soon but will stop with that. I’ve allready got a lot to keep weeded. Although the mystery monster that is still eating my pea plants is still at large, so I may have more room soon.... luckily he or it isn’t eating anything else, yet. I’m doing my best to not apply any poisons unless absolutely necessary. I believe this is something bigger than an insect though, but no footprints left...
Thanks for the tomato reminder. A rainy day is a good time to transplant a few more of the tomatoes that randomly popped up in the greenhouse. They are amazingly resilient plants. I have at least 8more or so to move into the main garden.
All of the initial transplants I did survived, but they were very young. I transplanted 4 decent sized plants yesterday and will see how a more mature plant does. All the tomato seeds I planted are about two inches tall right now so the transplants will hopefully give me that first tomato of the season before long. One of yesterday’s plants had flowers on it but I’m sure they will die from the shock. Thought about plucking them but this is really just kind of an experiment anyways. I will go water them in a bit more this morning. I did get most of the outside garden weeded yesterday. That was about all the productivity I managed on a rainy day. Today I get to mow and weeds eat 2.5 acres here. Yeah! Not....I had two of the transplants I put in the garden die. I've only transplanted 9 to garden and 4 to containers. Since I killed the initial 36 seedlings, I'm off to a slow start
Garden is ready for planting, we going to start planting June 1st providing we get some sun in the forecast around June.
It's back to winter here. 60 today with lows in 40s.
Nothing is going to grow like this. It won't die, but won't grow either.
Bring back the heat and take away some of the rain. I haven't been able to stake beans or the pitiful 8 tomato plants.
And for the next 15 years or so. I love my asparagus.Carrot seeds planted in the ground, onions in, and got 2 grape vines planted. The first asparagus started to pop up. Hope this be the first year of free asparagus.
