Who's putting in their garden this weekend?

Very interesting article in the Free Press this week on "Whether to Plant or Not." Full moon (probably frost) expected June 4.

Did a final watering last night till Thursday .

Will bring in anything in pots to the garage and this evening and will cover a few rows I want to protect. Nothing a few sheets can't handle maybe a load of laundry . This will be an easy covering.

Lucky for us the weather pattern looks amazing at the end of the month. Last night it was showing lows of 14 and 15 for may 26,29th. . Dont think we need to worry about the moon frost this season.

We heated our garage in 2021 never goes below 6 and when the fires going its great even on the coldest days of winter lol. My potted stuff will go there tonight I'll cover most of what's in the ground just for good measure. Shouldn't take to long

Another frosty morning covered up the peppers last night. Over the weekend I put in about 40 pepper plants 2 cayenne, 2 red chili ,couple of sweet banana peppers, 3 hot banana, hot Hungarian, California wonder greens ,big red some Sheppards and 10 jalapeños.
Also put in 3 types of cucumber 4 cherry tomatoes a second round of leaf lettuce that I found and replaced growing wild from the garden from last season. 4 eggplants and my 2 green trees were put in over the weekend.

Who knew it took carrot seeds so long to pop up lol. .


Happy growing.

Not a good season for growing . No rain, frost last night and to night. Annoys a flower gardener like me , but must be very annoying to the farmers.

Probably Friday night too in our area.

It's not bad if you water regularly I collected 65 gallons from the last rain fall as I only had one barrel out. Thinking about hooking up a 1000 liter tank and have a gravity fed irrigation. At the moment we are only holding 12o gallon and watering about 40 gallon a week from a few barrels.

On the bright side I'll be chopping up my first pacchoy in the coming days. Going to try and harvest just a few of the biggest stems off each plant and see how it grows back. We did this with our Swisschard last season and it was great . One 8 to 10 ft row about 6 inch apart ,gave a few meals a week all summer by just taking a leaf or 2 off each plant every few days. . This year I have 4 smaller rows both white and red will be replacing the red tomorrow as I assume a squirrel nibbled them up. Didn't eat them just bit the stems and left the rest on the ground lol.

Yeah I covered up the peppers again tonight .
I had some left over plants that I also covered with the rest. When I took the cover off when I left for work I grabbed the pots to take in to see if anyone wanted them . Anyway I could feel the warmth of the pots in my hands that are still sitting in my back seat lol.

Those clear table clothes work wonders . So do bed sheets haha whatever works without crushing them. 2 king sheets cover a good size area and is covering up the majority of the peppers now. Cut up a dozen garden stakes into smaller portions to keep them off the plants. Only takes a few minutes when needed.

Hopefully the cooler weather is behind us after tonight.

Finally put 90% of the garden in this past weekend. All that’s left is some herbs and more flowers to attract pollinators. It finally looks like a good stretch of weather is upon us. Happy gardening to all.
