Pinging the List.
We’re still growing white powder snow here in the Cleveland/Akron area!
About 80 of the 100 onion bulbs into the soil - at least for starters - might have to transplant a few (if it’s safe for them - dunno).
More to go. The season is off and running. Much more to do.
Anyone have any experience with Jerusalem artichokes?
Finally back.....sorry to have been off line so long. I am now in Louisiana , a lot different from Maine {imagine that?}
Can you add me to the list?
Thanks!
Temperatures still on the cold and windy side. I have been looking at all the plants and places where seeds have been sown. The bunching onions seeds are starting to sprout. One rose bush is doing well but all the dampness is causing black spot already so will have to remedy that this weekend. Sadly, two of the mini-rose bushes have died. Most likely age but bad weather is not being ruled out.
woke up to about 2” of fresh snow....it won’t last but such is our weather...
QUITE the storm system across the Midwest and into the Southeast! A lot of Freepers effected along this route:

I made a vertical pallet planter for my nascent strawberries this weekend. 31 sawn-off soda bottles with drainage holes added, nailed to a pallet. Berries are transplanted and NOW I CAN’T PUT THEM THE (*&%$) OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT’S TOO COLD. Waiting for Mother Nature to get in a better mood...
On the plus side, my baby moringa tree is 10 days above ground and about 5 inches tall with wee tiny leaves. When it gets big enough, I’ll see if I like the leaves, because I would love to have another source of dried greens for winter soups and casseroles.
