  I like my green tomatoes pickled..

Good Choice!!

[rgfixit]

Got tomatoes..

CHEATER!

Put my veggie seeds in the trough planter today. Pulled the radishes and spinach. Radishes are small by my standards, but really sweet. The spinach is really nice. I'll replant those after my veggies are ready to transplant.

Waiting for a sale on garden soil to top off my herb bed then ill plant that plot.

Bob there must be a place by you that has patio tomato plants that big for sale?

[rgfixit]

Im sure there is Dom. I've gotten so I hate buying a single plant from stores for 3x or more what a package of seeds costs me. I have 2 kinds of container variety tomatoes started  and a couple of other determinate varieties.

I noticed a very cool thing yesterday. Couple of weeks ago I cleared out a bed that I made a late attempt to start broccoli and brussels sprouts in. I tossed the plants I pulled into the leaf compost pile.....they have new leaf growth on them. Im going to leave them there and see what happens.

Did you plant yourshallots last fall? I was thinking about adding some to my herb plot.

I've got seeds   germinating for a variety of stuff. Pickles, cukes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, tomatoes, cardinal Climbers and peppers.

I'll move them to the trough planter in little peat pots in a few days. Then in a couple weeks ....maybe 3, I'll transplant them to the gardens.

We have a freeze warning tonight and tomorrow night. Maybe even snow showers romorrow morning.

Actually I did them years ago. I can't even tell you what kind they are. They were some kind of Asian onion that came in an heirloom beginner gardeners variety pack. I transplanted them after they got big enough under the lights and they just come back every year. They're actually quite amazing. I can cut chutes off of them probably 10 months out of the year. Even in the dead of winter if there's a snow thaw and they're exposed and they get a little sunlight they shoot  up and I clip a few to throw in whatever I'm making.

Perennial shallots....hmmmmm...Ii like that idea. Im going to do some searching. Love shallots in different dishes.

Thanks,

Do you have garlic chives?  Perennials...   I could probably send you some....

[drowndin dots]

Ok   

[rgfixit]

No I don't Dom. But, I'd love to add some to my herb bed. Im going to transplant my Greek Oregano to the bed. Ive been growing that for several years. A nice perennial and very good herb.

I have to stop in to Lowes tomorrow morning to get a few bags of garden soil mix for the flower boxes, pots and bags. Gonna do some tomatoes in the bags this year and maybe some peppers.

Just looked at the weather. 30's and 40's the next 7 days.....BOO!... Im not planting anything until after the 15 Th.

Thats ok though, the hitch dor my vehicle is being delivered today. Ill get the boat on the water instead.

[rgfixit]

Well...this might be the week...finally!

I've  had to start seeds over again. The ones I started a week ago went too far. Couldn't plant them....too damned cold.

The clematis took a bit of damage on the new growth with last night's 24 degree freeze. Asparagus is off to a slow start but coming up fat and happy looking. Broccoli and sprouts have popped up in the trough planter.

It'll be a late start, but, i have faith.

Same here! The plan is to get in the potatoes and onions today. And if enough time and energy, the corn... maybe?

[bart]

Put in potatoes and onions yesterday. Tomato stakes and baskets in place also. Tomorrow the corn goes in before the rain. And maybe an early zucchini try?

[MILLERMANKT]

My potatoes started sprouting today. I also built 2 more raised boxes, one for onions and one for pole beans. I built a couple nice A frame trellises for the beans and snap peas.

[Raquettedacker]

Been moving all the compost with a wheelbarrow so its taking some time but im getting there.   Might have enough left to raise one more bed another 10" .   

The one closest on the right has potatoes and onions in it..Garlic in the one past it..
