Busy weekend

well, here in ontario, they say a rule of thumb is never to plant before the may 24th long weekend (or in your case, that would be memorial day weekend) because the ground could still freeze at night. we are still getting temperatures of 5 celcius (i guess that is about 44 f).

I thought the ground temperature had to be above 60 or so? It's still going to be in the high 40's here at night for a few nights yet. Is it safe for me to put my vegetables in the ground?

Over 20 crops, Nice!! Now you have me hungry for some fresh veggies. No garden for me this year.

I am sure you are so excited to be out in your gardens getting everything planted. You will be real busy this year with more to tend to. Do you have a big freezer and freeze things? Or just can them? Our weather is horrible, windy and no rain. We were almost at 100 yesterday but heat index was 106 and then this morning had a small cool front come through but it at least knocked some of that heat out of here.

Yes working on it everyday. I buy and my roommate plants and digs up more lawn.As now he has me talked into a bigger garden. I got strawberrys at homedepot and a few other thing. You have a nice day my friend.

Im in South Africa so it is now winter here for me, but my vegies seem to do great in winter too. I just recently picked some of my cherry tomotoes and they were just delicious! Good luck with your crop!

My garden was all planted last week. tomatoes, green peppers and one cabbage plant. You must really have a large backyard for all the crops you plant. I wish I had more room so I can plant more crops.

WE have our garden done also but it is very small. WE planted our tomato plants, green onions and leaf lettuce sometime last week. They have really grown fast with all of the rain we have had recently in Indiana.

My garden's not planted yet, just some radishes in a pot, and the stuff that comes up every year, like raspberries and strawbs. Now, I have a question for you... Are you planting catnip in the mew areas?

I've only attempted a flower garden a couple times. I've never planted a vegetable garden. It sounds so rewarding.

I have been lazy and not done anything as far as a garden at all. I am debating over whether or not to do it. I don't really have the money to be buying a bunch of plants and I am not sure if I can commit to the time it would take to take care of it.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, I haven't done much in my garden as it has been raining for sometimes and nope I haven't done anything about tomatoes this year. Tamara

Bob- Wasn't the weather just gorgeous this weekend? We live in an apartment so we're not doing gardening yet, but we do love the farmers market down this way every summer. We can't wait until we get our first house so we can have a garden each year. Namaste-Anora

As the saying goes:a harvest pains,you have worked hard.But you also very happy to see things their own harvest cultivation must be very happy.In our country,the weather is good.spring is a season of farming.will be a fall harvest.Only hard work can be.

We're having some strange weather here, Grandpa Bob. For a week or two it was really warm, summery weather. Then this week, it turned colder again and on Thursday nights the heavens opened and the winds blew almost a gale. It ruins the plants that are in flower. Most of the blossoms have been blown from the shrubs and trees, but my lilac held on, although I fear that its flowering life has been shortened. I love lilac and had waited patiently for it to come out... then this! Oh well... back to the drawing board. It seems calmer and less cloudy this evening, so let's hope for warmer, sunnier, calmer weather from now on! Brightest Blessings.

You're doing way better than me. I've only gotten two new rose bushes planted so far. It's been raining here for the last several days so gardening is out of the question....not to mention the fact that I don't like sinking in the mud when I'm in the yard. LOL! And I have a bunch of succulents and a spider plant to put in the ground soon. If I don't I'll have to get bigger planters for them. And I can't lift the ones that they're in NOW! As for veggies, well, that doesn't happen around my house. Too many kitties and adventurous dogs around for it to be successful. So I guess I'll just stick with my roses.

here in the uk is a late spring I think. I also don't think the country has summer,LOL. This weekend I was busy too. Went to the shop and bought a few plants of chilli peper, tomato and rose. I put them in my garden. Wish in autume I can get something. best regards. Blossom

oh,I have no place for planting,living in chinese big city,I have little time for myself.I hope you have a gold fall.
