I just went walking around the gardens to see what's sprouting. Peas, basil, spaghetti squash, watermelon, butternut squash, and giant pumpkins all coming up. And my fig tree I thought died is sprouting new growth.
I think it's going to be more novelty than anything else. I've only got figs 3 years of the last 10 years I've had fig trees outside, between short seasons and below zero winters every couple years, it gets killed down to the ground often. I did plant it in a spot that a greenhouse could be built around it, cause that's what I want to eventually do. I also have 2 indoors fig trees, one that's about 4ft tall and fruiting and a bonsai from a cutting. Only one of the 40 strawberry plants came up and 2 of my 3 grapes died. I should've went to the nursery, but I bought them at Home Depot. This is the second time I've had complete failure with HD plant stock, lesson learned. My sunflowers are starting to come up but it looks like slugs got a bunch of them. Fuckers
. And the lupine I planted last year are starting to bud. I planted them in pots in the ground and was supposed to transplant then last summer, I hope I can dig it up without fucking the roots up too bad when I do move them.
Everything I transplanted last week(?) is just starting to get going again. We had 2 days of torrential rain followed by 3 sunny, windy and dry days that they didn't like. The last couple days have been calm, overcast and cool and they're perking up. I don't really harden stuff off either, they go right from my enclosed porch out to the elements. I over plant and let the strong survive.
