pretty much.. I ran out of 4 inch pots again...but I got all the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, artichokes , some painted shasta daisys, some dill all transplanted into four inch pots...I need to dig thru my seeds see if I have some different collard seeds the ones I used were just to old...and chives which I know I have newer seeds for that....my reg chives , yarrow, and collards were only thing that didnt come up...but they were old old seeds like 1996 seeds I thought I'd try.. I have chamomile not transplanted, oh and my snap dragon seeds didnt come up either not sure whats with that.........anyways have chamomile, couple varieties of allyssum, my tomatilla's came up along with the goji berrys but they just broke ground yesterday..and some alpine strawberrys still in seedling trays and some lettuce

I think it's warm enough to scatter some of the poppyseeds on the hill like I wanted to now.......

and I have like four more blueberry bushes to plant and two cherry tree's

Artichokes!
I was trying to figure out what those were. I'll have to see if I can pick up some of those again.

I should probably get started on salads soon too... They can be grown in the kitchen under a fluorescent light pretty nicely before it's warm enough outside. Once it warms, you can plant directly in soil bags too if they're not in a place where you have to look at them all the time. Karin's parents grew all the salad they needed last year in two 60 liter soil bags.

I kept micro ltettuce greens in a container on my porch balcony at my old apartment...just trimmed and let them regrow and harvested...hahh usually was my breakfast when I went out in morning when I woke up to wander around the plants I'd nibble here n there grazing lol

think I have like 8 or 9 flats of four inch pots with transplants...surprised you dont have artichoke isnt it perennial there?

 

[vehve]

I'm not a big fan of artichoke... sunchokes I like though. It will be interesting to see how ours do this year. We replanted last years bulbs last fall, they should start growing soon. Or as soon as the weather warms up a bit.

I like artichokes and they are perennial here AND they have purple flowers which fit right into my purple landscaping..and they grow as perennials here........pretty sure @hennible should be perennial also might have to cover with straw for winter there but will regrow.......I want to get some jerusalim atrichokes sunchokes but I havent extactly figured out where I might want to let it be invasive at.....maybe the free range chicken run area
