Busy week coming up for me; I’m getting last-minute soil amendments in before I transplant my veggie starts. I came up with a tasty butternut squash recipe and promptly doubled my planned butternut planting. :) Got purple tomatoes, peach tomatoes, Sungold cherries and red cherries ready to go, as well as numerous lesser vegetables (NOTHING is more important than tomatoes at my house.)
I tried making a laundry-basket planter for strawberries and have them transplanted, covered, and watered, so I’ll see how they do this week. Cornelian cherries and honeyberries planted, plus one of the apple saplings that I thought I’d lost to bored Small Obnoxious Dog has sprouted leaves all over its little stub of a stem. Fingers crossed.
We love tomatoes too. Last year was utter failure for most of hubby’s tomatoes. He used old jiffy mix against my advice, and they were just stunted and did diddly squat.
So I went to Walmart and got two tomato plants and put them into buckets and they did pretty good. Also had some volunteers come up in the middle of some lilies, that were kinda like grape shaped, and had a good flavor, so I saved some of those seeds.
