Yes, it's a double post day since the first one was just a basic overview. Here is the first of the actual day-by-day accounts. I know, it's VERY exciting.
First of all, it's finally supposed to be decent out tomorrow. As in there might be some sun and temperatures that make sense for mid-May. I'll be doing some weedeating to help get our campgrounds open for business (which happens the 15th) but I'd love to be able to plant out some things as well.
I have taken all of the solanum (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers) inside seeing how day/night temperatures of 45/33 are not exactly what they thrive in. They WERE out during the "night of late frost" but on the porch and seemed to survive just fine, however...but better safe than sorry. The beans, peas, and whatever else is left out there (some melons, until today) actually look fine. Maybe this cold weather will make them hardy, or maybe they will be stunted and yield nothing. Who knows. It's all part of the experiment, I guess.
My Baker Creek seeds came today. I went on one last ordering spree after the death of all my squash. I HOPE this is the last of the seeds that I buy O_o Here's what I got:
White Wonder Cucumber
Ground Cherry
Pea, Golden Sweet
Hungarian Black Pepper
Painted Lady Sweet Pea
Clemson Sweet Okra (freebie!)
Rouge vif D'etampes pumpkin
Ping Tung Eggplant
I've never had okra before so we'll have to see how that goes. I learned it was part of the hibiscus family, and has ornamental flowers. It could be interesting.
And last but not least....some pictures.
Baker Creek seeds...in the baggie to germinate.
