So today, I tilled 2 rows of the outside garden, and brought onions from the green house, and the test bed I planted outside before winter. Then set irrigation, got soaked as the sprinkler was pointed right at me when I turned it on!
🤣🤣
I was quite calm when I got done. (Will bring the rest of the onions out tomorrow.)
Seed planting in our area is not until after Mothers Day, that will be parsnips, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers... always look forward to the first sprouts showing. 😊
Then I went on factcheckbook.
Ugh.
I should just have given that a miss!
Then I came to AU and felt so much better.
We are all very fortunate to have this safe place to come to. It allows us a place to decompress, and reaffirm our commitment to banishing the alliance of evil from the world.
Let me share my view with you all. This, imo, is worth saving, and is part of what keeps me going, day in, day out.
Michigan is so up & down with the weather-so much for global warming...I think tomorrow will be back in the 50's....very windy & cold today...I will be planting garden this year but only what I eat...I want to get more blueberry strawberry plants in & green grapes- there is an apple orchard 30 minutes from me....May 20th has always been the date...good luck to you, Carole

Indeed! I had to move last year so I had to transfer my berries. I think I lost my raspberry, maybe blueberry too😢 but my strawberry & rhubarb are coming in good

I have not tried rhubarb. My grandparents used to grow it, Gran made lovely apple rhubarb pies, all with fruit from her garden.

Yes, our weather has been a roller coaster, and, every time it changes we get high winds.. our poor green house has taken a beating.
2 weeks ago we had 2" snow, Saturday it was 88°...
2 years ago we had a 16° overnight 10 days after Mothers Day that killed all the leaves and blossoms on our peach and apple trees.
They have just not recovered since... at the moment, they are covered in leaves, not one single blossom between them. Their only use is shade for the chickens...🙄
We are at 4800 ft, in N AZ, so we get 4 definite seasons, coldest -1°, hottest 113°, and it is quite dry too, I have only seen the range green one year, and that was 2015/6.
Despite the difficulties, I always look forward to planting.
I hope you get all your fruits, I have NEVER had any luck with fruit - strawberries just run, don't produce fruit, and grapes, blueberries and fig just give up the ghost! The wind is brutal, it dries everything, then beats it into submission! 😬
