People have their cool season plants in and some are harvesting... some of you have your tomatoes and such in the ground as well!

WOW!

I am so happy to see winter gone, and I want to see pictures of your fruit and veggie starts.... whether in your house still, or in the garden. Show me the photos of the growth you have going on!!!


Peas, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, herbs....ect ect ect

Hi V!

Some of the tomatoes and a few peppers, on a rainy day:

A little difficult to take pictures in my skinny greenhouse . . . a little sunshine would also help ;).

Wow Steve, maybe I am worrying for nothing.. I thought I would be planting after May 8 or so, your plants are even bigger than mine, when do you plant?

Maybe later than that, 4grandbabies!

They are a little s t r e t c h e d. We had 6 days of clouds and rain then a day of sunshine (& wind). Anyway, they are really reaching for that sun :rolleyes:.

I think . . . if we ever have a warm day . . . they need to go outside just so they slow down a bit. There's no question I may have problems with them and need to pot-up to larger containers.

There are some smaller tomato plants that were started later - my fail-safe plants. Back in February - it looked like we would have an early spring here. Oh well . . .

Steve :)

I am thinking that I will put mine in a tall box, remove their lower leaves, and fill with light soil to their near tops. Of course I will have to put plastic bags under the box to potect the floor, its just that I am out of good repotting pots in the larger size.. yep.. gonna make them work, gonna think positive!!!

I totally got overwhelmed and didn't take any pictures today... but I've moved some of my tomatoes out. Along with some peppers and gerber daisies.

Sadly, I lost a gerber to a rather bad cat who decided she didn't like it there and tore it up.

I also got out some leeks today as well.

I was out so late it was dark before I knew it, and I will have to share photos later.

I want you both to know, your tomatoes are WAY larger then mine, and mine are already going in the ground. I am unsure they will make it now. :(

Mine being big so early is my big worry!! I think yours will make it, its time there, a month early here for planting out.
As far as losing a plant to a kitty, mine rules, she is 17 and starting to show her age, so she gets by with anything she wants :)

My starts indoors just the other day. They were hanging out in my bedroom window with a grow light over them (its a sewing light that is supposed to mimic daylight, just realized a few weeks ago before having to start plants that we had this amazing light lol) until they got big enough to replant into pots, so now they're chillaxin' in the laundry room at night and being put out in the sunshine during the day.

There are some sunflowers here, Lupins, Pumpkins and Cukes (I can't tell them apart now LOL).
