What did you do in the garden today?

[BReeder!]

Wow, I didn't know you could grow peach trees that far north. @BReeder! what variety are you growing if you don't mind me asking? I'll pop it on my list of fruit trees to try once we've got land of our own.

Honestly, I don't remember. I purchased it from Walmart. I ferment the tag saying "super sweet". It might be an Elberta. That's one variety that I know its hardy to zone 5. There are others though.

I'll look into it, thanks!

ETA: Yeah, good to 5, but where we're going it's 4b.

Second addition: It seems Reliance Peaches are good to zone 4.

Try Contender or Reliance. Those varieties are supposed to be hardy in zone 4.

The four fruit trees we ordered (2 plum, 2 Apricot) will arrive in early April! So we have some time to prep the planting holes for the trees. That will give us 6 fruit trees total!

Basically watered things today...grass/clover seed, flower seeds, veggie seeds...

I mayyyy also have let a small child plant some flower seeds while I was busy and he needed a job, so who knows where we will have "surprise" marigolds popping up!

Tomato seeds didn't make it in dirt today. But I got the solo cups drilled and labels for the Cloudy Day variety.

Did you know your peppers are perennial? I keep peppers especially habanero and hot peppers for years. In winter they come indoors in a pot in the hydroponic setup.
A lot of methods to keep them indoors over winter and benefit is you harvest in may, or all year if you keep them warm under bright lights.

I leave mine outside but they lived maximum 3 years. eggplants are perennial too. some people around here have them as shrubs.

Nothing in the garden today. We went to work on the Poplar Bluff house. Plan to plant seeds tomorrow (which I've said many times before but hope to actually get it done tomorrow).

Speaking of blossoms, I think this is THE year for my peach tree. I believe there are flower bugs on the branches. It's still dormant, but should start its Spring awakening in a few weeks. I've waited the years now for peaches, so I'll be SO HAPPY if it blooms and bares fruit.

I love peaches but they live maximum 3 years in my hot and dry climate.
