Your 2024 Garden

The tomato, pepper, eggplant, and sweet potato plants will get water this afternoon after the rain missed us again.

We keep getting promised rain.

Maybe today?

We had a tiny shower yesterday and today. Wasn't much but I'll take it. Supposed to be getting more.
It was so dry all week I spent a lot of time watering.

Hope to plant some watermelons, canteloupe, pumpkins and butternut squash this week.

I think I'll be picking peas in the next day or so. Still no sign of mildew...yet.

Tomatoes are coming along.

How many folks here have started planning their garden for next year. I'm in the early stages of planning based on how much of what we need to use fresh and preseve by drying, freezing, canning, and pickling.

Pigs, because my nana had a plan, then the 2 dwarf pigs came over and ate half our flowers

Your tomatoes are taller than mine. When did you plant them?

After church and lunch I transplanted the marigolds into pots:

I put the edging in place, but didn't "set" it yet. It's staying upright on its own, for now.

I'm exited for the last frost. I'm planning on planting a Paw Paw tree (native to North America) and Spaghetti Squash!

Your tomatoes are taller than mine. When did you plant them?

I started them under LEDs in Feb. They get potted up and moved to the greenhouse when they don't fit my plant light set up. Just have to keep a watch on the weather because my greenhouse is not heated.

I like them to be in 1 gal pots when I put them in the ground. I dig deeply and bury an additional ft of stem and add compost to the hole. They set deep roots. Helps keep the water to them. They are indeterminates so will keep growing and flowering as long as I can keep them alive.

Whew. I don't feel as inadequate.

I transplanted the Roma tomatoes on April 7th, the German Johnsons on April 13th. They were in 4 pack containers, about 3" tall.

I need to go back out and get the mail. I may have more seed in the box....
