Have most of the garden ready, a couple more grow bags to fill. Ran out of daylight. Weather report still has us down into the 30's on the 10 day, but dirt day is coming soon...

Hey Rick, Any idea if it's possible to direct sow plants while using solar mulch or landscape fabric? The only thing I can think of doing is to cut a hole and plant the seed in the hole, makes planting to thin a bit wonky, though

Sounds good! My indoor plants are holding on. I did lose that gochu, unfortunately the break was too bad for it to survive. Kind of irritating. We got most of the dirt in, maybe 2 yards left. The plan for today is to get a few more wheelbarrows full into the main body, then fill the cells of...

7 yards of soil being delivered today...rain coming in later this week...GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

Hopefully I'll get enough peppers in there :) I have plans for most/all of my nons to go in there, and then as many of the peppers as will fit. Requires over 10 yards of soil to fill...that's gonna be pricey. Gonna order extra soil for my pots, and then just buy bags to fill in the rest. I...

So, here's the garden, sans dirt. A little over 30' x 10', give or take a block or so. I appear to be growing bird feeders, they'll have to move. Here's my grapes, with the berry garden behind it. I'll be getting netting over the berries, damn chipmunks and birds ate all the berries, last...

3 Neptune (seedless green) grapes and 1 Mars (seedless red) grape plants went in the dirt, last night. I'll try and snag a pic today, cinder blocks came in and I got a couple in the right spot, along with planting the grapes, JUST as the sun set, so it was too dark. It seems my compost is still...

Yikes, so, a month or two ago I put a request in to USDA/GRIN for a couple seed varieties, explaining that no, I wasn't doing any research, but that I was trying to source those seeds to grow them out and share with the community. I hadn't heard anything in forever, so I figured they didn't find...

This is the second time I've made them. The first time didn't work so well, unsure what I did wrong. This time, I added copious amounts of lime juice, and it made a huge difference. Pretty tasty. I'm usually pretty careful, having nailed myself pretty good in the past. Since it was "only"...

Things are looking better! I've de-leaved a bunch of the chinense, they were looking kind of rough from the over-watering. Little leaves are coming back, so I'm hoping they'll be bushy like crazy. All part of the plan, right? One of the moruga even has little buds on it, that'll be coming off...

Lookin' good!

Looking good, Rick! Our tulips have buds on them, no blooms, yet. I've been showering them with garlic, pepper, and assorted other anti-critter things, last year bambi came through and ate the buds off of them before I even got to learn what color they were. Jerks. I looked up the vesena...

We need some rain...they keep telling us we're going to get it, and it never happens. My grass seed needs a soaking! The lawn is growing...getting greener, and if it keeps it up, I'll be mowing in a week or two. I guess spring is here, which you wouldn't know by the frost on my car, this...

Cool, hopefully it comes through. It's still green, so I have at least some hope. More interesting for today is the horde of police that have their command post set up in my office parking lot in Watertown...glad I checked my phone before I left to head to work, this morning.

Stuck another bean plant outside. I'm a glutton for punishment, apparently. That, and I'm critically low on space :) Peppers got a good bit of sun, today. I also filled in the cups, they were a little squished down from when I was top watering, and I figure maybe this will smother the green...

Come on, weather, cooperate! It's such a tease, up into the 60's in the day, and then low 30's at night. Longest spring ever :) I don't think I saw any cutworms when we've been digging up our yard, just a million grubs. I've put down some milky spore for the grubs, but that won't get the...

Good to know. Apparently, my tablet cut the rest of my previous message off. It was having trouble with the site. That's supposed to say "which is cool, now I'm hoping my purple ones do the same"

Thanks! Survey says...beans do not survive frosts. Ah well, I have plenty of seeds and a few sprouts left. My green tomatillos are sprouting Like crazy, which I

We had a good bit of frost, last night, too. I'll check the peas and beans when I get home, it's still dark when I leave the house. I'm hoping the beans did okay, I need space in my greenhouse for some other pot-ups. My friends are still slacking on taking my spares - maybe next weekend? The...

Two green tomatillos have hooked! Finally...the others haven't, none of the purples, either. I sowed some more, hoping for some success. The majority of my herbs are now in rooters or dirt. Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Parsley, Sage, Wormwood, German Chamomile, Echinacea, Oregano, Sweet Marjoram...
