Thread: In the Garden 2017

Got my pepper and romaine seeds in a few days ago.

Working on razors



and transplanting starts to bigger pots today



--------------------------------^^^^^^ Look at that Corn growing hehehehe








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

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.

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.

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.

It was the dead of winter with snow on the ground. Ronnie said he laid on the seat of his pickup with the doors open for 3 hours, praying for God to call him home. The next time he had a bowel movement he started to pray to God again.

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.
