Overcast, here, too today. Not cold, but...funky. Humid & intermittently drippy. Loaded up the pups & the bubba & went to Fanick’s again. Got a couple of Oscar okras (my seeds are Clemson spineless), a strawberry in a hanging basket (don’t I need to transplant this?), a spearmint, some big marigolds & alyssum. Still no Romas :-/ I only saw 1 group of onions & they didn’t look like what I was looking for. And got some supplies.

Spinach, carrots & turnips coming along. A few of the turnips are about 10 times the size of the others. Not sure what’s up with that.
Will be planting beets Monday or Tuesday & getting the new things situated.

Hope you feel better, applegate.
Thanks, everyone, for all the links.
God Bless.

patriot08- I forgot to ask about dewberries, but will call. They had a *bunch* of blueberries & (I think) blackberries, though.

That reminds me, I had one of those net bags with 80 red onion sets in it..that was basically growing in the bag in the greenhouse. I tossed it out by the smart pots last week, intending to plant them..oops, I forgot about them until I read your post.

We are supposed to get some more snow tomorrow. Sigh. Soooo ready for the end of winter. March 25 is our plant carrot date. Think I’ll be planting them in paper cups and waiting a bit. It’s gonna be 20 degrees tonight, so I don’t think much will be growing, so no sense wasting the effort planting outside just yet.
