What app is that, looks like something I should have.

I signed up for planting reminders with the Old Farmer’s Almanac online. They email reminders for your zip code every two weeks. They have a gardening app and you get a free app one-week trial, after that it’s $9 or $14 or something, but I think it’s a one-time purchase. I haven’t tried the app because I’m cheap.

A youth group came over the weekend and helped me make little seed markers. Also everything at the dining hall germinated twice as quickly. I’m going to have DH pick up more pepper seeds because I think my first batch are goners. :/

Hello everyone!

I’ve been neglecting my gardening thread, but not my garden! I broke down and bought a few plants because I got too far behind on seeds, but next year I’ll be in a better place. The garden is HUGE. We had CITs (counselors in training) last weekend and they really work hard to get us caught up.

Last weekend:

Yesterday:

We have in pallets:
Red lettuce
Spring salad mix
Arugula
Mesclun mix
Green lettuce

Red burgundy okra

Lemon drop basil
Purple basil
Sweet basil
Royal purple bell peppers

Sweet corn x2

Parsely
Lemon mint
Rosemary
Thyme
Cilantro

Cilantro
Yellow bell peppers
Tomatillos

In buckets I have: Cherokee purple heirloom tomatoes x2, super sweet cherry hybrid x2, creole hybrid, and golden jubilee x4 (the 6-pack was on sale and I gave two away).

In beds I have: strawberries, borage, marigolds, and Louisiana purple pod bush beans. Other bed is carrots, radishes, yellow and red onions, and chamomile.

On pallet trellis we have: watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, and yellow squash.

On the “wigwam” we have mammoth sugar peas, Cherokee wax beans, and either blue lake or Kentucky wonder beans (can’t rememvet because a helper planted). I need a trellis for the cucumbers.

I also have two Jostaberry plants and two fig trees. I’m going to plant a ton of flowers in the ground along the fence row.

At the farm I have squash, sunflowers, borage, and popcorn.

Got my email reminder today, looks like I’m still “on time” for most things, I just might not make my June 1st harvest goals.
