Stage 01: Selecting seeds for this season's grow is a hassle. Cutting back a little for sure. If I can.

Those plants look nice Uros. I want to put the plants out so bad, but I will need to be patient with the weather I'm having. They'll have time to catch up.

Thank you. Better waiting than regreting, huh? Looks like Im waiting too. Last year got them planted in pots and the greenhouse was full by this time of year. Will start by mixing soil this week.

Here they are, hardening in the partial shade of the apple tree. It is currently windy and 13°C.

Thank you Rick.
The frost last week was very hard on the apples too. Like cherries, pears, plums... it affected the blossoms really hard when the temperature suddenly dropped under 0°C. It was unusally warm for a month, so everything started blooming earlier than most years. Than the frost... i doubt we'll had any cherries and plums. Apricots neighbor has, were burned 100%. Every pod in the making was dropped off. I bet some apples will grow, but they seem to be the toughest of the fruit trees.

Ouch! That happened to us last year... late freeze following warm weather killed the Peach and Plum crops so none available for jam and hot sauce. This year the trees are loaded though, and if things follow the present curve we should have lots by August!
 
I almost finished all the pots today. In the next couple of days I'm going to put them around the house and fill this greenhouse up with tomatoes, kapijas and yellow bells...

Here's hoping things warm up for you real soon Uros! Are you getting itchy fingers too? ;)

Thanks Rick.
Itchy fingers? Who me ? Nooooooo :)

Cant wait for this weather to sort out damnit... All is prepared for the big migration now though. Still have to finish fixing the poles for protective net. I'll probably post a few pics later...

Cheers!
 
Planted tomatoes over the weekend and prepped the garden for other veggies too...

... we covered them later with some cold/frost protection sheets for a few days because of unstable weather, but I think we're gonna be good after thursday (that's why the white poles are fixed over them - to hold the sheet)

Good on ya Uros! It's supposed to frost here tonight so I don't dare transplant the 'Maters yet. Hopefully by Thursday... [emoji120]

it's wiser to wait, just a few more days and you'll be good to go.... I already covered my potted ones today, tomorrow morning may be cold, but then it will get warmer... cant wait

Looking good Uros!

Those plants are going to repay you for all the kindness and generosity.

Some great varieties!

Thank you man. It's not much, but I'm trying to use the garden as much as I can. You are certainly welcome to follow.

So I tucked them tomatoes real good today to protect them from the cold tomorrow morning. It's currently 8°C but the temperature is dropping and it's supposed to hit about 4°C by the morning. Hoping for 5° minimum over here, but you never know.  :confused:  :pray:
Hope it won't hit hard and get to zero.....
