It's too wet to plow here.

No, but I was just shoveling, snow.

Got mine tilled and ready, but if it we don't get some kind of moisture, and the wind dosnen't stop it's all going to blow away.Man snow drizzle, anything PLEASE!!!

Thanks Charlie. You are correct. I generally give away more veggies to the neighbors than we can eat. And I just don't have time to put em up and all. Noticed this morning all the turnips were busting out. Btw, 40 here this morning in the creek bottom! A bit nippy!

Chit.....40's the high around here and we're dam glad to see it.

It did get up to 58 the other day though and the dog water ain't freezing at night any more so springs on the way.

Plowed the fall mustards under last month. Put three rows of onions down last week. Will over seed the onion beds with lettuce after this cold snap. Got fifty foot bed ready for strawberries which arrive Thursday. Got a 20 foot trench ready for asparagus coming in the same shipment with the berries. Got the Eggplant and peppers seeds started in the pump room under grow lights. Will get the tomato seeds started next week and the cucumbers, squash and watermelons the week after that.
I will not plant the above plant till after April 15, been burned too many times in the past with a late frost to plant any earlier. I am worried now that I am going to lose my peaches and plums tonight. We have been hovering right ove freezing the last 3 nights and tonight it could get below freezing. False spring back in February got the trees blooming too early. Apples have just started to swell so they should make it unless we get a freeze when they bloom.
Good luck to everyone this year hope your gardens are bountiful and pest free.

Haven't plowed the garden but plowed a foot of the white stuff today

will wait until the snow melts

We had back to back nights of temps as low as 15. I'm sure it got my peaches, but I care more about the apples anyway, so it is what it is, as far as that's concerned. It got cold enough in the high tunnel to bite the broccoli plants, but they should be okay. I covered the strawberries with row covers, and they came through okay. Keeping my fingers crossed, but am hoping this is the last real cold snap.

Still snow on the ground here. Should be gone by next week. When it dries out, Ill till it.

our snows about gone if we dont get anymore, but ground still frozen!

Everything is up



Last evening after watering.

Those greens look good! Woody, Interesting the difference latitude makes.
Last Friday we fished through near 3 feet of lake ice, back in Iowa, bare ground, and green grass. No garden up however.

I can almost taste those crunchy veggies, I hope you beat "Peter Rabbit" to them.

My herd of cats as well as my dogs keep the rabbits at bay. Actually I'm hoping the deer are kept run off too! Them are the critters I'm more concerned about. Lots of them here now!!! 40 years ago they were rare in these parts. Now they are all over!!! And they occasionally "patrol" just outside the fence!

This mornings storm played hell with garden. But it will pop back ok! I've got Cherokee purple tomatoes from the size of ping pong balls down to peas on the vines!!! Cherry tomatoes are loaded with little buckshot too!

We got about 2" rain in an hour. Wind is always what bothers me. But we did ok!

Good to hear it. We are getting rain just often enough that I can't work in my garden. Neighbor has sandy ground and has his sweet corn planted. I will put out tomato plants as soon as the ground will let me. miles

I picked a few radishes today. Just enough to have with breakfast tomorrow.

Tomatoes about the size of golf balls right now.

Sposed to get 6-8 inchs of snow here tonight! but they say Springs comeing!

We brought the tillers home from the shop.

Got the garden tilled up! hope to plant Taters soon!
