Ah, my Sat. morning fix.........

I was just going to look for it.

I’ve been busy prepping beds and started planting crops. Our forecast for the next 10 days is spectacular.

I got more of my potatoes in, got some onions started, it looks like the carrots and scallions I direct seeded are just starting to poke through, the snow peas are showing, and the romaine looks good. Garlic is up with very little attrition. A few missing bulbs but nothing major at all.

Waiting with the asparagus to make its appearance.

Unbelievably, the turnips that I had started by seed and then transplanted to a large pot on the porch have survived! It was touch-and-go for about two weeks, but I think they may make it. The parsnips are getting their second set of leaves, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

The only thing that’s not doing well is the carrots. They’re not doing squat. The recent extremely heavy rains (and we’re supposed to get more all weekend), have taken a toll.

Thanks to you Fiana — and everyone else on this thread — for all the knowledge you’ve given! :-)

Thanks for the wake up and hope your day is as Extra sparkly as your wake up graphic! (Just cloudy here...will UKs sulfer dioxide contrails plan plunge us into 8 months of unintended vegetation free darkness? Globalist scum!)

Time to strain my green tea / ginger tea. (Decocted with smashed frozen aronia berries for a mild purple kick!)

Good Morning to You!

Boxwoods are freshly mulched & I am whipped - had to go get another load of mulch this afternoon so I have shoveled, carried & spread a trailer & a third this week. I think all I can manage for dinner are scrambled eggs!

I still have to figure out some edging to hold the mulch & give me something to trim against - several good options (but mom has to agree).

Springtime in Misery... 4”+ rainfall at my house over the past ten days. We’ve officially reached the ‘mow the grass twice a week if it’s not raining again’ stage of spring.

Stopped by the nursery yesterday and bought my pepper plants. It’s too muddy to put them in the ground, and we’re not completely safe yet from frost, so they will hang out in the greenhouse until conditions improve.

We had fried morels and fresh asparagus with our breakfast yesterday. I’m done stomping the woods until the chanterelles come in August.
