A few days back I put some of the flint Indian corn in the kiddie pool (that had one Mammoth Jalapeno last year).
Also got 4 MJ in one of the pepper patches. These were the runts from the ones I planted in the winter. The six best are in a bed at the riverhouse.
On a side note, it is possible to get 7 large bags of leaves into a Camry and still see the road (for the most part).

Everything is in the greenhouse. I've been waiting to put them out and now that the night temps are going to be in the upper 40's I think I'm safe.
I've been having a hard time working outside in the garden due to the extremely high pollen count. The back of my yard is Douglas Fir trees and they're dumping pollen. I inhaled a bunch the other day while outside working and now my eyes feel like they have sand in them, my nose won't stop running, and I feel miserable.
It was yellow clouds of pollen. It literally coated the lenses of my glasses. You can see it dumping off the trees.

Picked up 1 1/2 yards of soil for our raised bed plants today. Experimenting with growing in coffee bags, thinking potatoes, strawberries and a few greens. Tomorrow I'll been humping a wheelbarrow for a few hours moving it and some stone for our strawberry hill.

Today, tomorrow and Monday are the best above ground days this moon cycle. So. . . . . . . .This morning I planted 2 trays of pink grapefruit seeds, 2 trays of wc oranges, 1 tray of Freida grapefruit and 1 tray of pomelo. Planted blue lake green-beans in trench with flint indian corn (on the house side), crookneck squash on river side, and zukes between the hills of corn.
I've got a few trays from my fall plantings with missing labels. I still have tons of citrus seeds, so most likely will plant them and hope if any old seeds sprout I'll be able to figure it out. Might do more tomato and peppers in like trays. Only one cayenne and one hatch that need transplanting before I can reuse those trays.
Rain is threatening, so I'm going to take a raincheck on my afternoon nap for now, and get back down there. (also have F1 practice and quali that I need to find time for before tomorrow's GP)

Nice and a motivational, "You go boy."
My limited starters are jumping up. No room in the house for the greenhouse. Grr! Lemon tree got too big over winter. Need to start topping and balancing soon. Looking at 20's the middle of the week.
F1? I assume virtual. Got to try to drive an indy light once. Stalled it repeatedly. Then stucco'ed my drawers after a few laps. What a rush. I'll stick to shifter carts.
Best wishes and a better day to all.

I'm glad I got started early. It paid off this year. Were supposed to be breaking a temperature record today. Some years work out better than others. I just hope we don't get a late blast of cold.
Some lettuce growing next to the strawberries.
Garlic, onions, and Fava beans.
From top to bottom. Peas, turnips, broccoli raab, radishes. I should be harvesting radishes in about ten days. Going to plant a bunch more today. The brocolli raab and radishes are rather close but once I harvest the radishes there will be more room and I won't replant in that location.
I have two beds of peas like this one. I'm going to put some string up for them to grow on later today.
The Tayberries and Raspberries are looking good and the pear tree is in full bloom.
My winter spraying seems to have prevented peach leaf curl on my peach tree for the most part. I did find a couple leaves so I cut those branches back significantly and disposed of them in the compost bin that gets picked up. It's done flowering but I can see where there will be peaches from the flowers that didn't drop completely. If I get a couple dozen I'll be happy. It should be loaded but I've neglected the tree.
It's not much but it's mine. I'm actually amazed at the amount of food you can produce from a small garden. It looks a little rough right now but in a month or two it will be a jungle.

My meager offerings to date. A broken rib is far worse than the many I cracked. I'll get my beets though. LOL.I'm glad I got started early. It paid off this year.

We’ve had really mild winters the last couple years I’m pretty sure I would already be planting by now. Not this year

I know. The climate is getting crazy with the weather patterns. Mother Nature is sipping the hooch and is out of control.
