Starting garden yet?

[archerynut]

No it sure doesn't look like there is any break in the weather for me even to start my garden. I am jealous of all the southern states that will be eating veggies fromthe garden by the time that I get mine in.

I hear you, I use this time to fix/repair any winter damage. I also replaced my fencing with rabbit guard on the bottom, 3' + 3+ of 2x2 square on top, and ran my electric fence above that to give me 7' to keep the deer from being fed.
I also just got an order of hops in and had to make some raised beds and trellis to hold them.
only thing left to do is replant the blueberry bushes and get ready to start some seeds (mid april)

we just got another 5" of snow this morning, so much for building my raised beds this weekend

They were not sure if we were going to get hit with that. I was running around like crazy last night trying to finish putting mulch over the hop beds.

Ray, my Italian tomatoes are up about 3" and I'm moving them from my utility room to outside today. I'll thin them down to two plants per pot (6 pots) and then down to one in a couple of weeks.

I couldn't believe how quickly those seeds you sent to me came up. It was less than a week and they were popping out of the soil. They sure seem to be healthy. I'll try to get a couple of pictures later today.

Almost forgot...
Your beds look terrific. I can almost taste those onions and radishes. From what I've seen, once radishes pop up, it's not long until you'll be having radishes for dinner.

Jim,

Glad to hear the tomatoes are doing good. I might have a few onions ready this weekend to nibble on.

Lost a couple sweet corn plants to Tues. night's frost. Most survived alright. Set out Tomatoes and Peppers. Cukes and Squash are up. The Cukes are along the fence-line, and I hope to train them to run up the fence for easy pickings. Butter Beans, Peas, Okra, Watermelons, and another row of Corn went in over the weekend.

I also spread the Dry Molasses over the Top half of the Garden Friday night. Ants went to the Lower half. It will be spread tomorrow.

Didn't get to mess with the garden anymore Friday, as I spent all day Saturday mowing, weed-eating, pulling up a small live oak with the tractor I was tired of mowing around, raking several truckloads of live oak leaves, washing/servicing equipment, sharpening the mower blades, etc. If they weren't so nice to sit under, they would have gotten to meet the business-end of the Stihl yesterday.

Today I disced all the strips I had plowed in the Dove Field for sunflowers. Might get to plant tomorrow if I can find some Treflan or Prowl somewhere. I have Lightning left over from last year's Clearfield crop, but can't find Clearfield seed locally. Looks like I'll be going back to Black Oil or Peredovics.

I ran 5 gals of fuel out of the tractor - $20.50 worth!!
