My couple of apple trees have yet to bloom but they are budding nicely. The single peach tree is in beautiful full bloom. C’mon bees, do your thing !

saw the tops of 2 asparagus coming up this am. Were not there yesterday. I put in 2 dozen crowns years ago. Last year only six of them were still producing. 5 years ago 19 of them still fed us.

Too cold in my area for bees to be out and about. Hope you have good luck.

I have several plants in the basement, started from seed, that already have tomatoes forming, and tomato cuttings that are starting to flower. Peppers are flowering, and a couple look like they are fruiting. I always start too many, and too soon.

@TEOTWAWKI inc. id be happy to take any spares off your hands and throw some $ your way for raising the lil fellers. We didn’t start much from seed this year due to so other concerns at the home front.

@fnfalguy You just want peppers instead?

 

[fnfalguy]

Lol. You should see how I fertilize things in the garden. The neighbors get horrified.

Last year I built a raised garden bed garden. My soil is mostly clay so this should work well.

Update. Soil delivered. Waiting for warm up.

Time for my semi-annual garden box soil amending. Almost done except for the biggest box and then it’s planting time. This one

 

[fnfalguy]

Got maters and some peppers in. The greens and Brussels sprouts are doing well so far down here.

You guys have got some damn nice looking raised beds! Bet it cost a pretty penny though. I’m a cheap old scavenger . All my boxes were once other things and I scavenged the wood to make them garden boxes.

Good thing you didn’t build those beds this year or they would be like $1,500.

I picked a ton of strawberries today. So many so that I have two whole sandwich bags to my mil, made strawberry shortcake for 4 of us, then I have two full sized Tupperware containers for fresh eating. I have more to pick tomorrow too.

I never did get my strawberry box built. Oh well, when I have the time I can always build it for next season.

When you do reach out and I’m sure I’ll have some for you.

Raspberries and blue berries are ripening now. I’ve got a few apples and a ton of peaches. Black berries are growing like crazy as well.

Yup, there’s going to be a bumper crop of All berries this year !

So far my nine tomato plants have nearly quadrupled in size and a few flowers are budding. Should be a decent haul this year.

Our youngest mini dachshund eats all the ripe strawberries she can find, so it's a race; same with cherry tomatoes.

I bet my berries or the birds and squirrels get nearly all of them. As it is the slugs still get a good amount of strawberries.

Everything is looking good in the garden's, bumper crop of berry's, currants, grapes, apples!!!!! One big problem, rain, we need rain. The pop up shower's for the last three + weeks have been going just north, south, east, and west of us.

I finally had some rain today. It was a descent soaking rain. I had a bit last night too so this should help me. Only rained about two-three hours today though.

Woke up to my phone blaring the emergency broadcast alarm around 12:30 last night. It was thunder and lightening pretty good and the alarm Was for a tornado Warning! I tracked the storm on radar and the rotating clouds were well east of me and moving away. I didn’t hear of any damage on the radio this morning on my way to work.
