i forgot my newest thing is blueberries i got some of thoes
little giant blueberry plants 6 of them and 4 pink blueberries now the soil needs to be between 4 and 6 for them to do good. so the birds kept eating all my berries so i poted in peet moss and pine mulch and brought them in. now i just put them out when they blossom. so the bees can do their job.

Yes, I have 2 small bushes, 2 varieties for better pollination.
When I remember last pH water down to 5.5 for them.
I believe they have quite shalĺow roots.

Hey guys. I got the garden plowed up today. At least the southern half of it. I bought seeds yesterday. Sweet corn, pink-eyed purple hull peas, acorn squash, munchers cucumbers, crimson sweet melons and I'm sure there is some I'm forgetting. I have lots of seeds in the freezer too. Saturday and Sunday are good vine days, so if I can find the time, I'm going to plant the cukes, melons and squash. Also BIL has spaghetti squash seeds for me. We have been cooking lots that lately. Kale was one thing I forgot. I'm sure there are others.
The pepper sprouts are doing a little something now. All three of the tomato strains are doing well, as are both kinds of brocolli. I have to get some soil mixed soon. Note my cat prevention system.
There are a few blooms on the Heirloom Homesteads. Didn't see any on the Cherokee Purple, but I really didn't think to look.

I bought a couple Mammoth Jalapeno plants last week. Will transplant them into pots this weekend. They have been in an east facing window and are getting too tall.
Here are the two Jumbo Jalapeno. Not too bad.

Since I'll spend most of it at work, I will be very busy. I do have Sunday off, but the wife says I promised to go with her to something or the other that afternoon. I don't remember saying I would, but what can I do? I'll garden that morning.

My high/low for the day is 79/59F. Nothing lower than 58F in my 10 day forecast. I'm planting in the morning. Last year I got started a little too early. I think I'll be fine this year. {knocks on wood}

I just looked back to the beginning of this thread, and saw I had stuff inside under lights in February. I ran out of room and had to put some of it outside. Had some peas and corn planted by early March. The frost came late, and got me pretty good.

I got out in the garden for an hour or so this morning. Planted 3 rows of Acorn Squash.
3 rows of Muncher cucumbers.
And 7 rows of Crimson Sweet melons.

We watered the blueberries. Most look like they didn't bloom until after the frost, so they should be good. An orange tree cashed, but that was from the two nights of 25F two months back. The lemon and tangerine trees looked pretty rough too.

I was suppose to have a few days off, was going to get out in the garden on Tuesday and finally move everything outside, but then found out i have to go to Miami for work. I am going to be gone 5 days, not sure if i should move plants outside to the patio area or keep them in my kitchen bay window area. Temps are gonna be in the low 80's this week and not sure if the wife or kids will remember to water them. What do you guy's think i should do ?
Tomato's are looking happy.

If you could set them in a pan of water they might be alright for 5 days.
That reminds me. I forgot to water my plants today.

Glad it worked out. I grow my tomato plants in 2" of water all season. When I get my Redneck Rain Gutter Grow System up and running, I'll post a picture. The plants are ready to go into bigger pots and into the trench, but I want to get the frame redone before I put plants in.
