We just got our seeds ordered this week and are impatiently awaiting their arrival. We’re fairly new to gardening and are praying we don’t mess this up! I’m in KC and am beginning to panic a bit about not having anything started. This year is going to be trial and error for us.
Does anyone here have any knowledge/advice on the 4-in-1 fruit trees? We were considering purchasing an apple tree that grows four different kinds of apples but are a bit leery. We’re here for a limited time so do want to purchase an older tree that is already producing fruit.
Do not panic! You are not late. I’m 300 miles west of you and probably 2 weeks behind your season, because of higher altitude.
Previously, I usually started peppers about March 1 and Tomatoes about March 15. I have decided that is too early, and will delay those dates by about two weeks this year. Last year, we were still having freezing temps on May 15, which is considered our “last frost date”, and my seedlings were huge, and a pain to take care of before I got them set out.
Don't be apprehensive, you'll go just fine. Check with your local county extension office. They will have tons of useful information and you can get your soil tested. Hey, we pay their salaries anyway, might as well take advantage.
I don't know a thing about 4-in-1 fruit trees. If they are offered by a reputable company, you don't have to worry much.
