2026 Garden

[IDFireLass]

Started my seeds yesterday. Went to repair the frost free hydrant yesterday couldn't get it apart. Ended up digging down 4-5 feet and replaced the whole hydrant. Now I can start watering. 73 last couple of days suppose to go to 75 today. The trees are budding out big time. I guess spring has spring. Went from doing nothing to full speed ahead.

I’ve got peppers coming up in trays in front of the window. Keystone Giants and Hungarian Hotwax. I’ll start Amish paste tomatoes this coming week.

Pulled the plastic dome off the artichokes. Retented the with only fabric row cover. Plants look healthy. We should be eating artichokes in May. This is the 5th season for the plants.

Planted English peas. Lettuce, spinach carrots and radishes might happen tomorrow.

I had to replant my sweet corn and my okra today, we had a frost at the beginning of the week and it put a whooping on almost everything I have. I did find some six packs of good looking sweet potatoes on the rack so I transplanted 12 of them. Ive got red, white, and sweet potatoes, sweet corn, okra, watermelons, cantaloupe, zucchini, yella squash, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, and im trying some poblano peppers this year. This is my fist time having a real In-ground garden so maybe one of them will turn out.

I put a frost free hydrant in 2019. It was so locked up i couldnt get it apart last fall. Like you had to replace the whole thing. I remember replacing internals back on the farm but never had to just dig them up and replace. Chinesium garbage i guess.
