Well said. It does seem accomplishment enoughSo I didn't leave my work-work until after 5 today. (We have our Summer 3W1, 5W1, 8W1 10W, etc. sessions starting next Monday.) But I'm happy to report that I have spinach, eggplant, nasturtiums, chili, pepper and tomato seedlings flourishing. Not too big for them britches yet (with the exception of the nasturtium) though so I don't need to thin and transplant immediately.
Also, plan on collecting my chard seeds soon by drying the stalks in brown paper bags that I hang upside down. *My mom made an herb drying rack a long time ago with little knobs to hang the paper bags from. Chard Seeds.
To be honest, I was drained after work so I took a bottle of wine out on the patio, cracked it open, and had my ladies and gents congregate by me as I enjoyed my red with my new favourite book: Aim True. Sometimes...at least for me...being in the garden means doing nothing. Except drinking wine and hanging out with chickens
Hey! You can give this a try to save your squash i read it somewhere.Evening gardeners, been hot as all get out the past couple days. Sadly I saw my first vine borer moth yesterday and that means the end for most of my squash
Such a shame. I'm not even close to sick of eating it so next year I guess I need to start more and start as early as possible. Just so frustrating.
On a happier note, I found my first Armenian white cucumber hiding in the foliage. Elderberries are flowering heavily. My red kuri squash and weird butternut have started changing color. First round of beans finished just as the second round sprouted. Time to focus on the things that like hot weather like melons, okra, peppers and eggplant.
Check this out i refer to it an also participate in itMaybe, it does look very similar.
I would cover the seedlings overnight. It’s in the low 40’s right now but the wind is kicking up. I just turned my heat on to take the chill off of the house. I can’t believe this cold weather just doesn’t want to go away.@Wee Farmer Sarah, sorry about your little BO! Hoping that the others continue to do well.
Weather here is going to be cold with possible snow on Sunday night!! That is some late snow! And such cold temps for nearly mid-May...47F as a high on Monday!

Q: my turnip and beet seeds are sprouting. Do they need to be covered? I know they are cold hardy, but a 27F low is pretty low, so I don’t want them to die.
Plan for today is to put up stakes and netting for peas then get those planted Within the next few days. A little late, but the weather hasn’t exactly been inspiring.
all the starts are looking good. They are growing, so I’m happy. Think I’ll wait another week (At least) to plant them since the soil will be pretty cold still.
I'm so sorry for your little one.Sadly, one of my sweet baby BO's died. It's a little weird as they were all doing so well. They only pooped in their water occasionally and never in their food. Very sweet little babies. I just hope the remaining 3 make it OK.
