Damn, making me feel bad. We had a cold front hit us, it's 62 right now and sunny. Got a shit ton of rain night before and I thought for sure it was going to beat my maters to hell,... but they withstood it. They were troopers.

No.. they were setting buds .. they'll still produce some cherry's, just not alot of them. The farmers use heaters in the fields to try to keep the buds from freezing off, but it's pointless in this weather..

I was able to get in a couple three hours in the garden before work this morning. I finished hoeing the peas and corn, and plowed the green beans and okra. The cool nights are slowing everything down.

Also raked up leaves and pinestraw to mulch the fruit trees I transplanted earlier in the week. I got the new stuff mulched, and everything watered.

Kumquat. I was given two trees last year. Better late than never, right? I got them planted on 4-12.

 

[too larry]

The same lady gave me two Lowquat trees at the same time. Only one of them is still alive. {although something else is growing in the pot. I'll plant it just to see what it is}

you are right about the cool/cold weather this year. very unusual.

 

[Sour Wreck]

This peach tree was planted the day before. The tips were a little droopy, but have rebounded since.

The peas and corn are growing slow as hell. Cucumber, melons and squash are not growing at all.

my potatoes and brussels sprouts are doing well, albeit the potato leaves were seriously hurt by 2 late frosts.

everything is real slow.... banana pepper plant may not make it.

I got the Nina beans transplanted this week. And picked up some intel on them when I did my thrift store rounds on Tuesday. They are from India, and the seeds can be found online {according to Nina}. She said hers got about chin high {chest high on a normal sized person}. Looking forward to growing these.

My peppers in pots are doing alright. The ones in cups are hurting though. I may go ahead and put them in the ground, just so the roots can spread out. I have a big area around an oak that I took out of production this year. I may put them around the edges of that area.
