Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Got three starters on the vine last I checked. I'll check tonight when I get home, it was pretty dark last night by the time I got home to check.
I also am starting to see the beginnings of peppers on two of my plants. Replanted some oregano and dill seeds to replace what I think were old, dead seeds, but I think the squires got to them before anything could happen. The thyme that we planted at the same time is sprouting though. I know this is old hat to you veterans out there, but I'm stoked that this is actually working!

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Spent the afternoon rebuilding one of my planting beds. Used cedar this time, instead of regular wood. Hopefully it'll last longer. Going to buy some 5/4x6 planks to cap the tops off. Only 3, maybe 4 more to do.

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Hey guys, this is a really old book about growing tobacco.
It's a direct link to a free pdf from the University of California. It's pretty cool. There's few pictures, but it's still worth downloading just to see them Hope you guys dig it!!!

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Some truth right here...
"Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant."

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Nice Mark. My garlic looks about the same size, although half as many planted.
Tomorrow i'm getting 1.5yds of dirt to fill my newly rebuilt planters. A compost/top soil mix. I'll mix in a bit of organic fertilizer I have, then wait for the weather to get warm enough before I put in my plants. They're callilng for high 30's this weekend as the low temps. I've put too much effort into growing these from seeds to risk losing them to frost.

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Thanks Bob,
They're calling for frost here tonight too, I've got 26 plum tomato plants in the house under lights waiting for the darn weather to finally break up here. The second bed behind the garlic has spinach and lettuce in it. They're just starting to sprout. Does anybody have any Kentucky wonder pole bean seeds they like to share. I can't find them anywhere locally. |

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
26 tomato plants? Hot damn, you must like tomatoes. The most I've planted before was 7. That was about 5 too many. I was giving them away to anyone that would take them.
I'm thinking I'll plant my onions at least this weekend. Maybe my collards, broccoli and cauliflower too. They should be ok with the colder temps.

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Planted most of my seedlings yesterday. I cant keep putting it off with these damn cold temps. Taking a chance that we don't get a freeze yet, which might happen Sunday. See the low is supposed to be 39. Guess I can cover them with something.

We don't plant in my neck of the woods until at least Memorial Day.

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
All our stuff is growing away down in our plant growing tent.
It all needs thinned out, but I haven't felt it yet. I'll probably get Weeze down there, she'll do it.

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Got a few tomatoes coming along nicely. With some help from the weather these should be gone by middle of next week. A side note. If anyone recognizes the company these are grown for please don't post the name. They don't really like when employees post stuff on the internet. |

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
My broad beans are coming along nicely and are flowering quite a bit earlier than normal.
It doesn't seem to bother the bumblebee though:

Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
First success (and failure) of my garden.
Success for the formed heads. Failure for the "bolted" plants. First time planting these over the last 5 years that I've had ANY plants bolt on me, and I have lost half my plants this year. And I even planted these early, a good 3-4 weeks before when I normally plant.
