Vegetable Garden

Who's got one ? what are you growing ? and how's it coming along? Mine consists of sweet corn , cabbage , brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli ,cucumbers, zucchini, peas, tomatoes , peppers , acorn squash, pumpkins, and assorted spices. The cold wet weather hasn't been very conducive to good growth so far for me. But with warmer weather in the forecast things should turn out. I hope those of you growing fair better.

Got a little time this year to do some early tilling.

Here's some of my seedlings as of a few days ago. Tomatoes have also all come up in the last couple of days. They only take a few days to germinate but some peppers take almost a month! I'm trying to put these in the ground at a much smaller size this year, much like when you buy a 4 or 6 pack at a greenhouse. I think I'm on good track. A lot of the peppers I planted about 3 weeks ago are starting to grow their first set of leaves. Once they get a second set of true leaves I'll transplant them into bigger cups, which I mostly use Dixie cups. I tried Styrofoam cups one year and they didn't root as well, plus they really only lasted once. Dixie cups I can use over and over again. I wash them in a light bleach solution then rinse well and they're good to go for the next season!

44/45 I know, I was only joking about the frost/freeze. They are real hardy!

Fishlovme, I've grown garlic for over 20 years. The only weather I've found to affect it is a drought. I do say that I have grown the same type, and other's may react differently to weather.

What should I do with all my garlic tonight, cover it? 

Frost, warning everywhere, man it’s only late April.

Frost warning tonight in Dane county! I covered up the celery plants.

Slowly but surely...

My cukes weren’t visible last night   

Wow BMR that sucks that the critters even eat your onions! Long as I put them in the garden that's close to the house they tend to stay away from them. I remember two years ago when I planted a few in my back garden a squirrel dug one up and replanted it about 6 feet away. That's the one that gave me the seeds last year, lol!
Most of my tomato seedlings are up. Some peppers are too but a few to go. I plan to start cherry tomatoes, a couple zucchini and couple cucumbers indoors on may 1st. That'll be everything for starting indoors. 

Yeah, I still don’t have any asparagus up!

Dang im jealous of the asparagus! Just in time for grilling season!
1.64" of rain in the last 2 days. Looks like I'll be replanting the garden!

1st pick of the year will be enjoyed by the wife and I with dinner. Should have a nice handful come this weekend also.

Had to run some errands this morning when I got back a squirrel had getting in underneath the fence, dug a hole and raised havoc with some onions. I will get him he’ll be back. But I am trying my old goose waver to make it look like a bird of pray. It’s flapping around pretty good.

FINALLY got some paprika to sprout! These took roughly 3 weeks to germinate. Glad I gave it one last ditch effort!
