I feel like I’m behind, but remember I’m Z5a, WI😅. I just ordered some fabric pots to plant celery in and set them in a kiddie pool with a drain hole 3” up. They are a bog plant and I think it may be key to getting large stalks. I can’t wait, BUT I have read celery is cool crop, However to not let it get too cold or it will bolt. I have so many celery and onions and need to get them out of greenhouse for the room.
That lettuce was State Fair worthy! We’ve never been big spinach eaters and never ate kale as I always think it’s a decorative plant. I’ll throw some round leaf spinach in and try that. Last year was my first taste of Swiss chard and not a fan. We like most all vegetables and I suppose if you know how to use it may make all the difference.
We had the 90* days last week then 6” of snow to start this week with only 40/day and 30 or less nights this weekend. Our normal high should be 60s.
I’m pretty proud that I’ve held off on potatoes which if planted on Good Friday would have definitely been nipped. I planned on Earth Day. I said enough of running around every year to cover potatoes and uncover and repeat.
Tomatoes and peppers I just started a week or so and up about 3” and my normal would’ve been starting end of March.
I hope to figure out my favorites this year and see how they produce to pair it back to just those varieties. I always have so many and give some away. I’d love to sell them, but really don’t have a great location to do that.
I feel like you with so much to do. Trying to catch the cool weather grow season here is almost impossible without hoops and covers. My sweetheart says I’m getting the hoops, but they still haven’t appeared. He has the old way of thinking when grandparents didn’t plant anything until Memorial Day and I feel he tries everything to stop me from planting even though he is not a gardener😏 it can be frustrating. I’m almost ready to strap them on top of my vehicle.😅. Should have got a truck.
Gotta run as the greenhouse alarm says it’s 81*F.
I said to myself "damn – she's planting too early". lol
What about getting a magnetic screen for the door.
I was silly to think about planting early! The great weather can just take your mind over. Thanks for sharing your experience. And thank you for the reminder, be patient (I really needed that reminder!)
My face if filled with a big smile when I watch your videos, I am so grateful and thankful I found this great YouTube channel! I LOVE Our Backyard Garden!!
Everything looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to plant my tomatoes and peppers etc. My Dad always planted on May 15th. My Nan planted earlier but she was always out there covering everything with paper bags or whatever she could find lol
Nice❤❤❤❤❤ I just expanded my garden and I to have a lot tomatoes this year!
So I might have to put some in a grow bag.
My green house is filled to the brim.
Looks great❤🎉
