I got my tomatoes in last week and they’re doing great.
The only thing that isn’t doing well is the onions I started from seed. Lost most of them, although the ones from the onion sets are doing very well.
I was going to buy more seeds for the red ones, but then had the brilliant idea of using some of the ones in the garage which are sprouting. I stuck them in the ground, watered them well, and they are looking very good.
So I’ll save the seed and try again next year.
My garlic is doing great. Asparagus is up and doing well. Lettuce is doing OK, and I’m going to go with the idea of using a high nitrogen fertilizer on them. Does that work well for asparagus, too?
My rhubarb bloomed with the butt ugliest “flowers” I ever saw. Is the rhubarb still useable?
See post #369. Ammonium Sulfate should work well for your asparagus and lettuce.
Cut the blooms off of your Rhubarb; cut them off as soon as you see them starting in the future. You want the plant to concentrate on putting our leaves/stalks versus blooming. It will also bloom (bolt) if you suddenly get hot weather, which it does not like. Keep it watered well. I use a few shovels of compost on mine in the early spring.
And, yes. the Rhubarb will still taste fine, even if she’s blooming. :)
