Your 2025 Garden

[Nomadicus]

Progress is moving albeit slow. Finally today the yellow and zucchini squash seed should get planted on stakes that got left in the ground where we had tomatoes last year. Maybe a few cucumbers too. Hopefully the Big Mama sauce and paste tomatoes will make enough this year for a major canning this coming August. Paprika peppers are in the ground and growing now along with jalapeno, bells, mild jalapenos & others.

Today my garden is once again covered in snow.

Today my garden is once again covered in snow.

I can relate. Yesterday we woke to snow and 26° F with wind gusts that nearly took the storm door in NY. Today, back in Oklahoma, I'm needing the AC on in the car as I run errands.
Hope it melts for you. When's your last expected frost?

Normal last frost is the last weekend in May.

The tomatoes are planted in the main garden mixed with marigolds to help with root knot nematodes.
I have a row with trellis prepared for greenbeans. I will drop the seed today. Another row almost ready for squash and cucumbers. Plan to finish this and set seed today also.

I plan to buy two more rhubarb crowns. TSC has them, but the bag is so light, I bet they are all dried out.

Of all the plants I've bought at TSC (10? 20?), only ONE has made it.

Buy Canada Red from a reputable nursery. TSC as far as I know only carries Victoria. The same applies to your local Menard's.

Ok, duly noted!

What's the difference in the two varieties?

My neighbor gave me a split off hers 3 years ago. It's going gangbusters. The two crowns I bought two years go are puny by comparison. I'm pretty sure the ones I bought were Canada Red; neighbor didn't know what kind hers were.

Canada Red gets nice red stalks. The stalks on Victoria are primarily green.
