Good morning gardeners, I hope this Saturday Morning finds you all healthy, wealthy, and wise!
I confess to being highly frustrated with my gardening efforts so far this Spring. I’ve managed to get a few tomatoes and peppers planted out over the past week, but I am waaay behind. Too much rain, and too many 55 hour work weeks are the main culprits. As it stands now, I’ve still got about 70 plants waiting for their forever homes….
As y’all know, I’ve been bitching and moaning about the overabundance of rain for several months now. My rain gauges recorded only one inch this past week, but that was one inch too much; it’s just too dang wet!
I bought my Big Beef seedlings from a nursery, but everything else has been grown from seed. I’m really excited about 4 new-to-me varieties this year: Prime Rib, Kewalo, Bison, and Mica Red, all from my friend, Miss Ellie over at BunnyHopSeeds. She has a really nice selection of dwarf/compact/balcony varieties, plus some pretty neat peppers as well.
A few pictures…
I’ve still got 6 tomato cages to set, and 6 pepper pots to prep, and a lot of plants that need some sun before planting out. The forecast for the next several days looks to be relatively rain free, so my plan for the rest of this weekend is to get all my remaining plants in the dirt, and maybe sneak in a little fishing….
What’s going with you and your garden?
Let’s get out there and have fun!!
