We still probably have a foot of snow on the ground. I'm really itching to get going! I've started a few flower seeds under grow lights but that's about it so far. We had a year like you're experiencing now last year. I had to replant my corn 3 times before it finally took off. Once it got going though, it did really well. Probably the best year I've ever had with my garden. Hang in there! This year I'm planning to start a couple weeks later than I did last year since with all the replanting I did, I was was about 2 weeks behind usual last year and everything came out just fine.

Beautiful flowers Carole! I love purple flowers, I just ordered a bunch of purple gladiola bulbs. We're still about 6-7 weeks away from being able to plant anything here. I started some tomato & pepper seeds last weekend so I guess I am gardening now, even though it's not outside yet. |

Went out on a limb and planted a month or more early. Paid off. Tomatoes are about 2 feet tall and blooming (altho nights are still too cool for fruit to set), sunflowers, spinach and chard look good, and potatoes are as tall as the tomatoes. Mandarin orange looks to be in for a bumper crop if the number of blooms are an indicator. Northern CA. |
