Well it's all in. Made a walk around video to test a new wireless microphone today so it not the best. Have to get the settings right and move the mic next time but it is very clear up to 600 ft from the camera.

First cool day in 2 weeks and haven't had any rain in a couple weeks so lots of watering.

Someday when i am as old and dull as you guys i will have a hydro grow lab full of garden seedlings. 

;D ;D :snowball:


Just kidding, im envious.  


This is the latest ive ever waited to plant and im hoping it pays off.  Our growing season is so long and ive been so busy i figured whats the rush.  Im not putting in a ton of effort this year.  If it takes it takes and if not i dont care. 

I think i have waited out the early flea beetle onslaught, and last year during june bug mating i went on once or twice daily jungle raids to spot spray the little humpers with sevin squirts wherever they were meeting up, which was mostly the blackberry thickets.  Yuge difference in the subteranean white grub prevalence this year.  Im hoping to liquidate their forces after a few subsequent seasons of guerilla warfare.   Keeps the sevin out of my food atleast.

Transplanted my new mater sets into bigger dishes. Planted 8 cuke seeds for setting out to be ready ahead of those sewn in the garden. Cukes I use for seed will mature in 45 days, grow 10-12" long. Burpless and English style. I had some cukes like zucchini size last summer. :D

I have a craving  for potato salad now. Those  fresh dug ones are so sweet. 

Swamp Donkey we switched from the English cukes to Soyo Long Cukes. They are more bug resistant in our area.

Mike someday you will be old and empty nest. That's when there's plenty of time for hobbies that bore young kids. FLEA BEETLES are the only enemy I can't beat naturally. Tried  neem and it worked  for a while then it was like they developed a taste  for it and it became  salad dressing for them. Tried  Captain Jack's that worked a couple  weeks then they started liking  it. I think all the chemicals  the big farms around us use is creating  super bugs.

I don't get cucumber beetles in my upper garden. They will hit them in the lower garden, so I keep them where the bugs ain't. ;D The beetle will hit squash and beans down there, so I cover those until they get to size with floating fabric. :)

I never see flee beetles until the end of summer, they will hit basal and grape leaves. Only seen them last two years, never had them before. A lot of our bugs hitch a ride from nurseries poorly kept. But plant stress sends a signal to bugs to.

I'm just crossing my fingers for two more days. They forecast a low of 38 tonight, I'm usually a few degrees lower than that. Go figure that the low was 58 this morning and a high yesterday of 93. The plants are begging to be transplanted.

Set out a couple new Canadian red rhubarb root balls this afternoon, just arrived by mail. We have all kinds of ground moisture here this spring for starting trees, shrubs.....and rhubarb. ;D

We have been at 43 degrees all day today with a windchill  in the 30s. I am hoping  everything survives.

flea beetles ripping up my potatoes already.  Torched a gang of red aphids yesterday.  We finally got a blast of cool rain to break up a bit of drought.  Its down to 72 in the house and i feel cold!  First cut of hay was very short due to a hot dry spring.

I'm getting jealous up here with all your plants and gardens. Tonight should be our last chance of frost. This morning it was 31 degrees and another warning of frost overnight then it will be clear sailing. Stay warm!
