There's something germinating in one of the seed cells sitting next to the living room window. I have no idea what it is... I didn't label them. Could be sage, rosemary or ???. I forgot what I planted in one starter tray. Got a new toy today, a weed burner torch. I hit all the weeds growing...

The weed tea fertilizer I started last Sunday has been fermenting the last few days. Lots of bubbles in the bucket. All that wild yeast and bacteria is gettin' down to business!

Sorry about your hip. I have a lot of that ok-ish janky-ish fence around my garden. I found 50 feet or so of fence all crumpled up and half buried in the woods last year and straightened it out so I could use it. I think it's hog wire. Small spaces at the bottom graduating to larger spaces at...

The leaves on my bucket o' daikon were trying to grow out of the floating row cover that was bungee'ed over the top, so I built a new cover today. The daikon leaves have room to spread now. I built it with scrap lumber I had laying around, then covered it with previously used floating row...

After all the justifications as to why there's no problem with their seeds, I'm glad that they'll do whatever it takes to make things right with you. But this part is kind of concerning... ...Additionally, seed packages may be subjected to irradiation by the postal service... What the heck?!!

Thanks. Yeah, I read that somewhere. The big problem here is the temperature. It's still too cool to be direct planting okra seeds. Too cool, the plants go dormant and are more susceptible to diseases. So if the seeds I planted in the garden don't work out I'll drop in the potted plants... if...

I think I planted too many zinna seeds in the yogurt container. :eek: They were seeds I saved from last year's zinnas. The first attempt in a smaller pot yielded only two plants, so I figured the seeds had a low germination rate. I put the rest of the seeds in the yogurt container and hundreds...

Hey, I just finished mowing my yard too, but I didn't pull out the weed eater. Minus the garden, buildings and areas under the trees I think I have about a half acre to mow. Thanks. I planted onion sets this spring. If I remember I'll leave a few and see what they do next year. I didn't know...

I'd definitely contact Baker Creek and ask for replacements or a refund. They have a guarantee, but I'm not sure of its details.

My okra row was a little shorter than I thought. I was able to plant 14 hills of okra, 18" apart, with two or three seeds in each. Plus I have 17 solo-cup-potted okra seeds as backup if the direct seeded okra goes bust. I replaced the iffy black currant cutting with a nicer one, and I planted...

Interesting. Were those onions planted as seeds, sets or plants? Did they bolt last year? One of the black currant cuttings I planted last week is looking pretty bad so I'm going to yank it out today and put in one of the replacements I have. All the others are looking great! I just really...

I've decided to do both direct seeding and starting seeds indoors in solo cups. My okra row is ~24 feet long. Going by the recommended 18 inch spacing, the row will need 16 plants. I'll start 18 in solo cups indoors so I have a couple extra. I know the air and soil temperatures outside are...

I figured out where to plant my dill and okra. I dug out a new bed on one side of my woodchip pile and planted the dill there. It's only around 3'x3', which should produce more than enough dill for me. I saved the dill seeds from last year's plants I grew. I hope they're viable. I didn't do a...

So far today I've put my first batch of marigolds, a few parsley plants and a pair of marjoram plants in the garden. I watered over the bean and squash seeds too. Still have dill and okra to plant. Need to figure out where they'll go, then make the planting beds before the seeds go in.

I think I planted my onion sets way too deep in the ground (4 or 5 inches) for them to make good size bulbs. I removed about 4 inches of dirt from around half my onions to see if it really makes a difference.

Thanks for the video! I needed a good laugh today. Curly is the best Stooge ever! I found a little volunteer tomato in the garden yesterday and decided to leave it and see if it catches up with the foot-tall tomato plants I put in the ground a few days ago. If it performs as well as the...

Bet it still tasted good.

I raked up some grass that I mowed today, then went over the entire garden and pulled out every little weed I could find. I found one little group of three Canada thistle plants and chopped down deep with the hoe to get a good portion of the roots. Two years ago the thistles were all over the...

Transplanted a few leaf lettuce starts into the garden today. I was going to set out a few marigolds but I couldn't decide where to put them. I also set up a temporary deer/chicken fence that will give the winter squash space to spread out over the side of the bed when they start vining.

I'm just north of the view line of NOAA's aurora forecast for tonight, so maybe I'll get lucky and see it if the prediction is correct.
