Planted brussels sprouts, radish, peas, and onion sets yesterday. Temp in the 60's, but heavy rain,snow, and possibly an ice storm on the way. The third coldest April on record so far. Next week looks really crappy, cold,windy and wet. If anything comes up it will be a bonus,if not I guess I will have taken it in the "ice" Indoor starts are looking good. If it ever warms up I'll transplant the sprouts,cabbage,and romaine lettuce. Too early for the peppers and tomatoes.

We still have bout the same here, cold/wet/WIND/ etc!--Did get the spuds planted yesterday and another row of peas.---The rows in this middle garden are 190 feet long, and we have a bit over 6 rows of spuds, so will see what they do.--WAY too cold for plants here too!
First seeds planted are not up either, ground too cold, so we may have to replant a few things!
Today it's trying to rain/storm, and temps dropping like a rock!---starting to think spring passed us by this year again, like it did last year! thanks; sonny580

Yesterday I dug a couple of horseradish plants up and processed them. They made 2 and 1/2 pints of finished horseradish.--Nice and strong!
I then cut the crowns into 4 pieces and re-planted them, extending the row another 7 plants longer.
This kind that I have is a very old kind, and my start came from an old farmstead many years ago that my boss at the time had me bulldoze out.--When I came to the horseradish patch, I picked up all I could in a hurry and tossed it into the truck and took it home and planted it.--I still maintain this kind because it does well for us here and really prolific!
Anybody else go for hot horseradish??? LOL!!!!
Looks like some of our radishes are coming up, nothing else yet.--Ground was white this morning here and temp. was 25* with 30 mph winds!--- GREAT spring???? how you guys doing?? thanks; sonny580

Neighbor has an established horseradish patch, and he dug up one plant and brought it over for me to grind. I cut it into chunks, then hit it with the slap chopper, throw it in the blender with some white vinegar, and let fly. Open the lid and spoon it into jars. This stuff will really make you cry, nothing like fresh ground, never could find any store bought that could compare. The oldtime farmers said you can dig it in any month that has an R in it. I saved the crowns to plant if the snow ever melts.(yes, we still have snow on the ground) Supposed to warm up the middle of next week. This is now officially the coldest April on record here. Good luck with your gardens!

Weather here can't make it's mind up, two or three warm spring like days, then two or three cold winter like days. Most of the time when it's warmer, it's raining. I've had the tiller hooked to the tractor for three weeks now and just waiting for the garden to dry out enough to start getting it ready.
The plants I started from seed are going to be huge by the time temps and soil are ready. Going to have to up pot them to 5 inch pots before long.

Looks like snow heading this way again!!! Gardens will have to hurry this year to make a crop before fall frosts, if the weather don't get decent soon!!!
GLOBAL WARMING???--- Where???? LOL!!!! thanks; sonny580
