    Sounds interesting. That said, my process is really solid, and I can't imagine harvesting more than I already get! My plants get up to 15' long (maybe even more lol) and I generally harvest from early-July until late October. Might be an interesting thing to do as an experiment, though.

    It's not too early. I know because I follow the same process every year and I have everything I need to keep plants healthy and strong before planting. I'll up-pot two times before hardening off and getting the plants in the ground sometime between mid-April and early-May. I plan my planting schedule based on the long-range forecast, and if I feel that I can get them in the ground without fear of getting zapped by cold then I'll do it. A few years ago, we had that early-May cold spell, but I covered up the plants and they withstood it without any issues.

    Got my first seeds planted and under lights yesterday. I've been getting my seeds from Territorial Seed Company for quite a few years now, so I'm a little nervous about picking up the seeds from the nearby nursery this year. Hopefully the germinate and all is well! Tomatoes San Marzano Amish Paste Coeur de Bue Jersey Devil Roma Sugar Cherry Jalapenos Broccoli Lettuce Basil Parsley I'll probably be starting some others in a few weeks and will be direct sowing mache, spinach, and more lettuce by the middle of March. Dill will go in later. It's on!

    I’ll just assume every year will be meh and hope something good happens. This storm sucked.

    They were so, so bad.

    12 and 3 for me. Same reaction.

    Or pound it like wine.

    I need to get a service to come out and trim the big branches from our neighbor’s huge beech tree. It’s on the NW side of my garden, so it doesn’t interfere too badly, but it hangs over enough that it blocks some afternoon sun from a spot where I want to put in a new raised bed. I also just want to keep the limbs from hanging over my house!

    I’ll go with a total of 0.25” of slush in Burke. Pretty cool to actually watch the flip in real time and then see the heavy stuff. Bummer this couldn’t have tracked a little south, but whatever. It’s almost spring

    I’m still so confused about what happened to our mega look we were supposed to be coming into.

    Mashed potatoes at 38 degrees in Burke. Excited for my RAPpage. This is the best storm ever.

    So you're saying that Chuck was right. Crazy to think that the monthlies and weeklies and ensembles were all on board for AGES only up until last week, but now it's all convoluted and far less of a given that we'll even see a portion of that look when the time comes.

    You know what? They're like 300+ miles away from us and they get far more snow than we do year after year. Not sure I can feel for them after what we've been going through these past many years and the epic long-range fail period we're heading into.

    Most epic pattern since 2009-2010 is appearing to be a fail, so let's get the green-season party started! All things related to growing and mowing in our little corner of growing zone 8a can go in here. I went to the local nursery this weekend and picked up seeds and starter mix for this year. Planning to get first seeds under lights this coming weekend. Can't wait to get going!

    I've been staying out of the fray recently - haven't really even looked at ensembles or the long-range thread or anything - but checked this morning. Serious question: Did the ensembles and weeklies completely shit the bed in showing the great look we were expecting?
  17. mattie g
    Looks promising
  18. mattie g
    I’ll open it tomorrow!

    I see they we’re losing the 50/50 and that the NAO is positive, so it looks bad to me.

    You've been munching on those cubes in your picture again, haven't you.
  22. mattie g
    On which ensembles did we lose the 50/50?
  23. mattie g
    Jesus F'ing Squished

    It's getting spicy in that long-range thread. I kind of hope we fail just to see the utter chaos that would ensue were that to happen.
  25. mattie g
    I don't even know WTF I'm supposed to be looking/rooting for at this point. And when you consider how different the GFS is upstairs than the Canadian and Euro are, it just confuses me even more.
