Anyone planted gardens yet?

[Bambito]

Just wondering who has what in? We usually plant green beans, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers and it looks like it could be awhile with all this rain and 50 degree highs.

On Sunday I put in some brussel sprout plants and planted five rows of peas up here in Grand Rapids. Tomatoes, peppers, beans, etc may not go in for a few weeks yet ...

[Down2Earth]

I have everything in but the tomatoes and peppers.

Every one of the two nice days I thought about it, but then the next two weeks is not so nice and loose interest ..........garlic is up though, and have some nice onions, radicchio, and lettuce that overwintered well.

I put everything in on sat. looks like I will have to survive tuesday wednesday and thursday thou with a cover on some of it thou.. got to get it done so I can go fishing.....haha

I am thinking about planting rice here if it keeps raining..

[Early Riser]

Radish, onion sets, carrots, peas, spinach, beets, kale, romaine are already up and growing.

Potatoes went in Sunday.

I will direct sow my herb, bean, tomato, pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, summer squash and winter squash seeds on Sunday.

I always start as early as possible and often stager planting until the end of June if overly cold/wet conditions persist.

We have made one batch of Rhubarb sauce so far.

I hesitate with the beans, cucumbers thinking the seeds could rot in this weather before sprouting!

Only onions here.Have to get them in as early as possible to allow them to get as much top growth as possible before they start to bulb up.Supposed to get frost here the next 3 nights.....to wet anyway.

I'm planning on doing my whole garden here in about a week. Can't wait to get it in just hope that the weather gets better. Good luck everyone.

I have potatoes, onions, carrots, lettuce and spinach planted. I am going to get tomatoes, peppers, green beans, cantaloupe and broccoli planted this weekend. I got the rest of the deer and rabbit fence in tonight. The asparagus and strawberries are going good so far. All the stuff is growing so far.

Bobby and I are in the same boat...literally. Wetter then wet in our neck of the nape, and there doesn't appear to be an end to it!

I'd typically have everything cleaned up, fertilized, and thoroughly worked for seed bed prep by now. So far this spring I haven't even set foot in the gardens. If I did I'd sink knee deep in muck.

Still holding out hope we dry up enough for pre-seed till, and planting before June 4th!

As if our seasons aren't short enough ... years like this (and last) make it even more difficult to get everything in in time to get something out of it!

Well, by golly, I was able to get into the north garden for the first time last night. Cleaned up all the viney leftovers from last year, and just had to try and turn up some dirt.

To my great surprise the tiller worked thru nicely, and instead of making mud balls the gorgeous black dirt turned up nice and mellow! Managed to turn over enough ground to work up 8 nice fluffy rows for my first planting of sweet corn. Now at least I can run down there, rain or shine, and drop in my first planting of corn.

Man, there is almost nothing I love more then breaking ground for the first time each spring! Seeing that fluffy dark black, rich earth replacing the flat gray debris cluttered ground, the smell of fresh moist dirt in the air.

Looks to be another fairly nice day today. Hope to get some more work done in the gardens! It's about time!

I started planting potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and onions the first weekend in May. Of course, this is in southeast Iowa.

The chives, green onions, and rhubarb left by the previous owner from last year have already been picked and eaten, although there is plenty of all three left.

I may still have to re-plant the tomatoes and peppers, as we got a pretty good frost here last night. I'll know more later today.

[otterman91105]

Planning on doing my whole garden next friday. Cant wait to get it done. Hopefully this weather is here to stay now.

Trying to wake up, after which going to hit it up. Did most of the prep work last night, but saved the worst for this a.m......which is why we are still watching Spongebob and on the computer.

I pretty much planted everything today except warm season things like corn,tomatoes,melons,and peppers.Took pretty much all day.Glad it's all in.

[the squirrel]

Planted everything yesterday will see how it goes. I am afraid this down pour may have washed some of the cucumber seeds away!
