Haha, the same thing happened to me last month during one of the NFL games. I hit the 'live' button on my remote as the shootout started to make sure I didn't do the same thing again today.

mattie g Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sorry to hear of your family's loss. I am also a gardener, but this year I have held off on getting an early start. Just has the feel of a late spring to me. #endbanter Thanks. I appreciate it. It's going to be a celebration of the life of a man with a very interesting story! I can hold off on planting the onions for three or four weeks after I get them, but I don't want to wait that long. Every day of growth I get in the spring helps the plants get bigger before bulbing starts. I planted at the end of March last year and had pretty small onions overall. I'd like to keep that from happening again. I'm not terribly concerned about the early vegetables - I'll planting beets, lettuce, spinach, and carrots before you know it, and waiting an extra week or two shouldn't matter much Tomatoes are coming in mid-April (I don't grow from my own seed yet), and I like to plant them by about the 20th. Last year's chilly May really set me back, so hopefully we don't see another May like that again. I'm expecting a cooler, water summer this year, which wouldn't be entirely unwelcome! I'd imagine you'll be two or three weeks behind me, so I hope you get a chance to set things out early enough to see a good return in the summer!

I'd imagine you'll be two or three weeks behind me, so I hope you get a chance to set things out early enough to see a good return in the summer! I typically get the onions in around St. Patricks Day. Most years I get frost right up until the second week of May; even a hard freeze every third year or so at that late date. I usually just hope for at least a 180-day growing season. I got fooled by very warm stretches in April a couple of times in the last few years, and put some warm weather crops in, only to have to cover everything a couple of weeks later. Too much work. I tried some heirloom tomatoes from seed last year, with mixed results. Ended up buying some plants from the farmer next door and had a bumper crop from those. Last summer was very tolerable here; abundant rainfall with a nice even distribution, and not too much high heat. Thinking you are right about this coming summer, particularly if we start seeing the El Niño influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah, my mom asked to have her for a weekend, how could I refuse? It's been quiet, and some nice adult only time for a change Nice. If she had grandparents close by, I have no doubt we'd have had at least one request to take her off our hands for a day or two. We felt like we'd won the lottery when we went out for lunch and a matinee once when we were down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah, close by grandparents come in handy. My mother-in-law is retired and takes ours for 1-2 nights every few weeks. Can't refuse. In other news, cloud cover really helped our snow cover today. Didn't notice much melting. We should be good til Tuesday. The big melt starts Wednesday.

We felt like we'd won the lottery when we went out for lunch and a matinee once when we were down there! My wife's parents came into town yesterday for my wife's bday. We took advantage of that and just had a kid free dinner.....where we talked about our kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, usually I do good going from seed (actually I'll be starting mine on 20th), but the heirlooms from last year just never took off?!?

I only plant heirlooms (usually five or six different varieties per year), so I can only compare them to one another. I've found that the paste-type tomatoes typically produce much more than beefsteak varieties in my garden, but it's not uniform. Brandywines do quite well, but Mortgage Lifters and Cherokee Purples haven't given me much yield. This is only my fourth year of really gardening, so I'm still learning a lot about what my little plot will yield and which plants do best. Hopefully if we get into a Nino this summer it doesn't mean we get *too* much rain and too much "cooler" weather, which brings the fungal issues with it.
