This exactly! I had a great start a few weeks ago but it's been mostly rainy and blowing now for weeks! Good thing I was behind in planting the greenhouse, nearly everything would be ready to go out and no place to safely good.
That video that got posted says they are best started really early, that they don't germinate well in warmer weather.
Rhubarb is so good. I found a recipe to make rhubarb upside down cake and it was delicious! Had an insane amount of sugar in it but I can live with that!
I throw all weeds (except for wild blackberries) in the open run with the ladies, roots and all. They strip the leaves and generally destroy the roots. If it's tall grass I do chop that up a bit.
Got me too, now I have to find enough dandelion heads to make it work.
Could you send a little of that warm to us and we'll gladly share some of the cold and wet. We've had so much rain that I slog through standing water on my morning critter care. Sandy soil so it drains away just about as soon as the rain pauses.
Let us know if that works, I was thinking of stretching what flowers we have with the dry.
Dang it, I've been letting the ladies mix the top layer of our building compost bin. I think I have some left over pieces of horse panel I can set up there to keep them out. Too bad too, they do such a good job of mixing it all up.
Probably not the case for yours, but mine poop out if I don't feed them enough. I use a weak (every watering use fertilizer) liquid fertilizer watered down to half strength and use it every watering.
Hoping for the best.
I would happily make that exchange! Hoping for the best for you too! I told hubs with the state of current affairs we can’t risk not having a run for the flock. We’re gonna be busy! So far no cases have been reported here, but better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. My flock only gets a few hours out of their coop each day right now.Woohoo! I'm caught up baybee!

Lots of sprouts in the greenhouse, including the pepperonchini seeds you sent me @TJAnonymous! Some are big enough to go outside but it's still too dang cold. And thanks for the warning @pennyJo1960, we've had a breakout case of bird flu about 2 hour drive from us.
We had a lovely baked french toast for lunch with a dollop of apple pie filling on top.
Yay! My pepperoncinis far outpaced the tobasco peppers I started weeks ahead! I'm anxious to see how big they've grown in the week since I last saw them.Woohoo! I'm caught up baybee!

Good idea Penny. I’ll probably keep a pair of flip flops in the run.
Yup, @pennyJo1960 and @igorsMistress, a pair of slip-ons and some spray disinfectant are great ideas.
