Spring is here, but still too cool here in N.W. Jersey too start my garden, and way too muddy with all of the rain. Need to dry out before I can work with it. Got a source for manure to turn in and a good sunny spot. Last year I planted some "Yellow Teardrop Tomatoes" never had them before and they were awesome! So sweet and full of flavor. Going to do more this year, 3 or 4 times as much, my friends keep asking me if I'm going to have them again.
Hasn’t Biden already outlawed home gardens?
We have seeds started indoors. Can’t plant until Mother’s Day.
Don’t give that Globalist any ideas
1st. I’m sorry you live up there.
2nd. I live in Texs. My sugar snaps are 4 foot tall. I have tomatoes and potatoes ann carrots, broccoli, cabbage, greens.
Good luck and have fun. I love my garden.
Here in Baltimore, frost-free date is about May 1. My hostas, heucheras, strawberries, most of my perennials, etc. are already bursting like rockets from the soil. My roses are fully leafed out, too. I’m looking forward to seeing my beautiful hostas in full leaf and to planting my vegetable garden.
Is northern jer-z the real garden area?
Here in Northern Indiana it is still too cold. I just started indoors with grow lights my cherry tomatoes, purple tomatoes, basil, spinach, lettuce, and 6 kinds of peppers. The lettuce can go outside in 3 weeks but the rest not until after Memorial Day. I can’t wait.
If anyone is interested in a garden thread, here’s the latest monthly that started yesterday.

I had terrible luck with those but good luck with the Cherokee Purple variety.
We are supposed to get somewhere between 6-18” of global warming climate change snow starting tomorrow here in NH.
I may go skiing again this coming weekend.
You can have some of the 82° we’ve got today.
And yes...I’m out in the yard. Yard work never ends.
We are supposed to get snow this week but I have plants indoors coming up. Tomatoes, peppers and cannabis.
I’m in NE OK....got Tom plants growing already...And some Hot peppers...Chilly here today...47 degrees...supposed to warm up.
I already have potatoes and carrots going. First time for both of those. I cannot wait to get the rest in. Cilantro survived the Winter.
Believe it or not, there is a good chunk of north western N.J., parts of central and a lot of south Jersey that are farmed and most people have a garden. Those that live in towns, cities not so much. The conditions vary a lot from north to south, south of Rt.1 is much warmer than the northern part, and soils are very different. For a small state, there is a lot of variation.
1. I hate you
2. I hate your garden.
3. 1 & 2 are lies.
4. Happy Gardening! It’s the best food there is.
My friend says our tomato plants are the funniest he’s ever seen. Didn’t tell him what they really were.
I know the feeling. Get a couple warm days and I just want to get my hands in the dirt. But I’ve learned over the years, those late April nights of frost can spell disaster.
Get your but down here. And tell me all you about the Jersey Devil. Met Tom BrownJR once . He was a trip. I played in the Pine Barrens .
