It’s those fake GMO veggies that should be hidden away from view.

Just got in from cutting some asparagus and dumping about 40 starting cups of mix that wouldn’t produce a plant. That’s far too many. Also, shoved the tomatoes and peppers against the house but may need to bring them back into the garage.

Looks like the chore today is cutting the tops out of those milk jugs we’ve been saving. Why? Yep, uh huh, I was right, again. What say you, A&M? We’re supposed to be getting bad storms again today and tomorrow and a freeze Monday/Tuesday night. I get lulled, aka spring fever, into believing A&M to plant on March 15 but KNOW not to until April 15. So, what date is this last freeze? Yes, boys and girls, it’s April 15.

I have a forecast of 36 for Monday and Tuesday night. I hope by the end of today that number will go up. If it doesn’t, I’ll have to pull out the row covers again and cover every plant out there.

I have 30% chance of rain today and 40% tonight.

That’s what happened when I used Jiffy seed starter, NO PLANTS. The Espoma seed starter is magnificent. I’d use potting soil mix before I would use Jiffy seed starter. What kind did you use?
