Can you claim that without having buffer strips in place?

What did you do wrong?

 

 Mine are all up. Time to start the cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower etc.

According to one I started to early. personally I don't think there was enough warmth.

Garden got tilled last night. I'll wait a bit to plant. Been a bit chilly.

Still need to clean mine out and turn it over. That's on this weekends to do list.

Will probably plant soon after and risk a little frost.

But I'd like to get it started sooner than later.

I did a bit of work in the garden tonight. It's not quite muddy, but it's close.

[smurfy]

First of the year.

[smurfy]

so, last nite I busted my butt to get all my peppers. maters, celery and green beans planted before the rains came. it was way to windy to plant carrots and the rest of my kolarabi. I wanted to plant my cabbage but grabbed broccoli instead. ISH...… got them today and there in.

 

so once this crappy weather moves on i'll get anything else in the ground soon.

 

picked my first bunch of asparagus today!!!!!! there in the process of getting put in a pickling brine!!!!!

[KEN W]

Planted onions,carrots,green beans,lettuce,beets and potatoes yesterday before the rain. The carrots, beans, beets and lettuce are 2 varieties of each as a varieties test for NDSU Horticulture Department.

looks like I need to cover my plants tonight, there's a frost advisory here.

[Grainbelt]

I put in my tomatoes and peppers last weekend and built the greenhouses. All week it was nice and toasty in there. I opened one end to vent mid days. They were thriving nicely, leaf tips up. It is suppose to drop to 34 here tonight. 

4th year blueberries in front. I pinched blooms the first 3 years. Finally get to try them this year. My rabbit fence is 18" and the snow was deeper. The rabbits put blueberry bush tips on their menu, all vegetative growth below the snow didn't get touched. I am going to re-fence taller around the blueberries by fall. 

[smurfy]

those are a different type blueberry plant then i'm used to seeing up north with the wild berries.

 

I just order 4 10 lb boxes of blueberries. thee from Michigan!!!!!!

[KEN W]

Frost here today. Everything is white. Covered most of what I have out. Biggest concern are my Juneberries. Covered all of them. Will have to wait and see if I saved them. They are all in full bloom.

It got to 38 degrees and they did ok. Plenty of heat in there with the sun to warm them back up. Jalapenos, bells and habanero. Planted a couple mortgage lifters on the north end.

[smurfy]

Mine survived also!

Everything seems to be OK here.

If you haven't, you may want to put in some V shaped clips to secure the bottom of the fence. They have nothing but time to check your work.
