Ugh from cold and soggy Central Missouri. #1 Daughter Leah is home from the USMC for a couple weeks of pre-deployment leave. We had plans to go see some dirt track sprint car racing in Wheatland, MO tonight but Mother Nature put the kabosh on that.
I did make it to the nursery earlier this week to get tomato, pepper and eggplant. Got all of the 44 tomatoes re-potted. Had to put everything I bought in the barn to protect from the cold nighttime temps. The forecast is looking up so I’ll bring them all out tomorrow morning.
I’m in Chicago for tech training all of next week so won’t be able to get a doggone thing done until the weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice while I’m gone and I’ll be able to get all of the stuff I bought into the dirt after I get home.
well today I planted 24 pepper plants into bigger pots, then into the small greenhouse we have...to be later planted when the weather is safe.....I’m trying jalapeno, Anaheim’s, and bell....my onions aren’t dead yet, leaf lettuce a little shocked from planting them outside in 5gal buckets, and my two zucchinis like a little shocked too...got two hanging flower baskets going...using red wave petunias and some dark blue lobelia..
Still gloomy and rainy here too. We had a short break and Hubby took a walk around the yard. He reports lots of cherry blossums and peaches, so it looks like they survived the frost.
