It's supposed to be nice tomorrow and I'll be cleaning the dead crap out then.
My garden is under snow at the moment from yesterday's oh-so-lovely snowstorm. On the plus side, it's melted quite a bit today.
Super excited about this years growing season. After many years of wasted money trying to grow in my own yard (concrete patio with only a few hours of full sun) I finally got a plot at the local community garden. Been on the waiting list for 3 years.
Fenced in and 100% full sun all day. Hoping for a killer pepper yield this year.
I planted the seeds yesterday. I am hoping this year goes a lot better than last. The plants were a dismal failure.
Got my pepper and romaine seeds in a few days ago.

I can actually see the ground in the small garden, still way too wet to till and way tol cold at night to move any plants out there but I see GROUND !!!!
Now Glen's 1/2 acre is still covered with snow :p
I planted cayenne pepper, chive, and lavender seeds this past weekend. Hopefully we will be able to work on the container garden this weekend. It needs to be moved to a different spot in the yard with more sunlight.
I might as well pack it in now
Was looking at the extended forecast for our area
50's during the day 30's at night through May 1st
May 1st - May 31st most 50's some 60's and 2 days that are forecast to hit 70 night time lows 30's and 40's
June 1st maybe safe to plant stuff outside ***SMH***
I guess I am going to hope that after May 1st I can keep stuff going out in the mini greenhouse, the kitchen table covered in plants is going to get old rather quickly :(
It is unseasonably cold here also. We had snow on the foothills not far from town just 3 days ago.
I had an elderly neighbor who was quite the gardener and he told me to Never put tomato sets out until after the 26th of May as that was the latest recorded killing frost for our valley.
The way things are going the 26th may get a run for it's money as being the latest killing frost. :banghead:
our tomatoes are in along with just about everything now, the wife said alls well. if we have any doubt at this time of year we just run plastic over the plants, we have a trellis built the length of the planters, and the bottom row is doubled wire so you can run the plastic between it and drape over the sides of the planter, this in effect creates a mini green house. but or weather is cooperating here in the mid south we usually are eating tomatoes by the first part of june. lettuce is already about 2-3 weeks before getting some on the plate Tc
Frost this morning. Nothing going in the ground for at least a month.

Like eating magma.
I have a friend Ronnie Leibrecht (who I sent the above link to) who loves hot spicy foods. He was working for Safeway and helping put together a brand new store. A couple of days before the Grand Opening the produce was putting out the 'variety items' things like the jalapeno peppers, jicama/things that would hold up for several days. Ronnie went by and saw these roundish orange 'things' beside the Jalapenos, Anaheim's and Serrano peppers and he asked the produce manager what they were. The manager said that they were Habanero Peppers one of the hottest peppers on earth and you couldn't just eat one. Ronnie said "Sure you can". The manager said to try one. Ronnie picked up two and bit them off at the end of the stems and started to chew saying things like "Oh yea, spicy, hmm spicy" about the time he swallowed he said he started to sweat like he'd run a marathon race in 100 deg weather and it started to feel like someone was pushing their thumb against his esophagus.Quote:

Ronnie swears that if someone were to put a Habanero in front of him along with a million dollars cash to eat the pepper, he'd get up and walk away.
By the way I believe that those peppers that the girls 'tasted' were dried so the oils and all were more concentrated than if they'd been fresh, but I would presume that the result would have been close to the same.

Habanero isn't that bad. I grow them and eat them all the time. I would not recommend eating two if you aren't used to them. Over time, you build up a tolerance for the hotter peppers. I've gotten to the point that I'm hard to hurt. [emoji3]Quote:

Doesn't everyone like to puke and toss up blood for a little drama?
Just wondering :shrug:
Weather has been great these last few days, and soil was perfect for tilling.
All ready for planting, but no plants yet. Figure the weather wasn't right yet and the first ones rotted...should have lettuce going in today, but it didn't come up either.

Nice looking plot there Mike :tu
Sometimes our seeds don't sprout and get us ahead of the game like we'd hope. But I'm sure that you'll have a great year
The strawberry plants are really doing well for only being the second year/especially after a rough winter. Lots of blossoms='s lots of berries :y

I 'think' I finally found out what kind of bee I keep seeing. But I'll post those picks in the Bee Keeping Forum.
Our strawberries have not started to bloom.

'Something' had been digging in my little strawberry patch. At first I thought it was yet another cat who hadn't learned it's lesson but it hadn't left any 'gifts'. The last time I had cats crapping in the bed I bought some old fashioned mouse traps and set them in the area that had been 'used'. After a couple of the traps disappeared, so did the gifts.
Anyway I set some mousetraps out and just a bit ago I heard a YIPE! The neighbors let their pup run loose and it had tripped one of the traps. I reset it and I do hope it comes back and takes one home!
There is NO BAIT!! So whatever triggers the trap is going there on it's own free will and hopefully will wish to never go back again.
Here's where the digging had been. It's from the pic I posted today but I hadn't bothered with showing the digs. See the ovals and circles in Black.
