I tried to buy rosemary plants today, but no one had any : (
I did score a patchouli candle though. : )

My balcony is home to 40 potted hostas and heucheras, 2 hanging fuschias, 2 long window boxes and some large pots of flowers. It is my horticultural link to sanity in these isolated times. At least the plants are thriving and draw a lot of compliments.

I don’t think people realize how big a garden one needs to provide for a family of four until the next harvest. Most everything grown in a garden are low in calories and you’ll have to eat a lot of garden produce in order to survive.

Hardware stores are seeing record sales as well. I work at one.

Lowe’s was out of Black Kow yesterday...fine with me; another local feed store had PLENTY.

My broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower plants are HUGE this year...it has been chilly in Tennessee. Potatoes are chitting, and are going in this week (dark moon/fertile signs); tomatoes and peppers when light moon returns Memorial Day weekend.

Last year I setup a keyhole garden. Best tomatoes I have ever had. This year well on its way to repeating last year’s crop.

"We are 500% busier than we normally are this time of year," said Mario DiGrande, owner of Oakland's Thornhill Nursery. "I've already sold as much soil in six weeks that I do in an entire year. It's just crazy."

I am not a gardener ,but the other day I went into the pet and feed store to get supplies for the birds , squirrels and chipmunks that are regular visitors to my back porch.

While in the store I noticed an expanded new section devoted to seeds for planting vegetables, food etc.
The person who waited on me told me they are selling 3 times as many victory garden seeds as they have sold in the past.-Tom

Anyone have any thoughts on the concept of cooking pie pumpkins and eating them like squash, rather than making pies out of them?

[MomwithHope]

Would rather call it a Q garden.

I have a kitchen porch garden in buckets and window boxes and Styrofoam coolers every year, all I can manage at near 80. Planted my 10 big tomato plants, started from seed, out there 2 1/2 weeks ago. S. Missouri. They’ve been through storms, winds and a frost ( under blanket clothespinned to tomato cages), are near 3 feet tall & thriving. Also have blossomed sugar snap peas in coffee cans, pulling scallions, lettuce, spinach,etc. Even peppers & eggplant are out there making it. Green beans just germinating on front porch. Mailman will have to lump it. If I can do it, anyone can.
