2024 Garden!

[Dave N]

Had moths flying around the yard light last night.

We've had neighbors out working their fields.

This is crazy. It's February and I have some windows open because the house is up to 77 degrees inside! Fresh air. It will drop to around 20 overnight and the furnace will be going.

We were 65 at 3:15, it’s 53 now. The temps dropping fast

Chance of large hail and tornadoes tonight.

 

[Jwill]

I got my apple, cherry, and peach trees pruned, too bad I don't know how to keep the pests off of them before harvest...

Didn't take long! Under a tornado watch now.

Meanwhile, I saved some of last year's potatoes to plant this year and they already have shoots maybe 4 inches tall.

 

[Gellar]

Our day Lillie’s and tiger Lillie’s are about an inch tall.

I started to sweat at my desk. checked my thermostat and said 78. Its 82 degrees here and super windy. Looks like cold front will showup at midnight for me.

Put in a new greenhouse has fall to get our spring starts a leg up. Next month is going to be busy for planting.

Fennels and mustards


Peas and cauliflowers


Tomato starts and oddball herbs


Radishes


Favas, they have some sort of blight on them so hopefully the pods still produce.


Potatoes and collard greens


Purple box, kales and radishes


Winter peas, celery and lettuces.

We don't dare to do jack until May sometime. It's a harsh environment for growing.

Last year I planted potatoes, onion and garlic on April 12. I planted lettuce, radishes, and snow peas on 4/13. Tomatoes were moved outside on 5/6.

I just went to the garden center with the 5 year old. Who knows what he threw in the cart.

 

[270.Rose]

I have two of my raised beds planted for spring greens, and a bunch of herbs coming back from last year in my potager garden. We just got 8 inches of snow so I'm very glad for that!
I really want to start seeds inside but I'm dithering because I don't know how many volunteer tomatoes are going to sprout in the garden after all the dropped and squashed ones last year. Don't want any plants to go to waste!

 

[Dave N]

Good luck Dave. stay safe.

Looking like it's staying north of us. @Nick87 better hunker down, though. It's heading his way.

Catching the edge of it right now. Need a welding helmet for the lightning show.

I see that! Lights up the sky real good!

This is one messed up weather year that's all I know. I think we're still gonna pay for it.
