I said most!

"Cuda you must be a little younger than I thought. Most Harley riders that I know will not ride any colder than their age!"

change the word "most " to Few and I,m with you Tim.

by the way the wife just ate the first 2 ripe tomatoes today and she said they were great! cant wait till the next time home I,ll be outside eating them maters.
and the Gorilla Sweets are really doing good, she said they have gotten bigger every day since last week, and our asparagus took really well,, cant wait till next year on them, plus the blueberries are just covered in little berries right now ripening., carrots and radishes are ready along with 3 kinds of lettuce and lots or herbs, squash and cucumbers are starting to climb the vine so they will be coming along soon also. good luck guys Tc

Most "I know" and few that you do.

I am slightly jealous as I have not planted any annuals yet.

I will plant this week and say lots of prayers. The hummer feeders go up tomorrow.

Hey Tim, the 2 apple trees I have in Wisconsin are simply loaded with flowers. Provided we have no bad weather it will be a bumper crop for sure. The small tree produces the hard, tart/sweet apple best for baking apple pies!

Same here Dave, tomato's, green beans and peas this year. I put up the bird feeders today and the hummer feeder is tomorrow.

this neck of the woods we have had hummingbirds for around 6-7 weeks so far,, amazing how different only 700 miles makes

And the battle begins!

I managed to find 5 really nice and ripe strawberries in the patch today but upon picking them I found this:



Looks like the slugs are out. I'd picked up some slug bait but I need to clear the area before I can apply it. It'll be well away from the actual plants/sort of a 'barrier' before they can get closer.

I'll let you know how the bait/killer works. It's supposed to be much better than the slug and snail bait you see in stores/like this one.

Going to plant this weekend and hope for no frost from here on out.

We have cucumbers, two types of tomato, a couple kinds of eggplant, brussels sprouts, red bell peppers, cowhorn peppers, two sriracha jalapenos, a white "devil's tongue" pepper, and a mystery pepper (old unlabeled seeds, but they sprouted!). Also going in are some seeds - beans which will be fine, squash and watermelon... not too confident there. Some strawberries getting started for next year too, and the flat chives are doing great so far this year.

No planting. High of 42f today. Weather sucks but the strawberries are growing like crazy.
