Got them in

duajones · February 25, 2007

Transplanted the majority of my plants in the ground today. Forecast tonight is high 40s maybe low 50s. I sure hope I didnt jump the gun. The varieties I have in the ground are:
Azoychka
Big Beef
Black Krim
Bush Celebrity
Bush Early Girl
Cherokee Purple
Jet Star
New Big Dwarf
Sungold

I have a few extras including Silvery Fir Tree and Campari that I may grow in Containers.

That's great. Where I am we are still dreaming of our tomatoes lists and getting everything to start the seeds in the next couple of weeks!

Forgot to mention that I ran into small earthworms in almost every hole today with the occasional big one here and there. The earthworm population has definitely picked up and Im taking that as a good thing!

Congratulations, and hope the weather holds up.

My planned plant out day is the 3rd. I spent much of today amending and turning soil in 20 new raised beds, and I am just beat...

Gotta find my straw mulch next week.

I thought I had a reason to be beat, 20 new raised beds? Wow! you worked your butt off. I would also like to use straw mulch and hope I can find it.

I also put some out

It was that or certain death. I ran the greenhouse temps toooo high to juice up some annuals I planted for my Mom who lives in Florida. It never occured to be I was giving those plants steroids. UGHHH They are huge, so I wrapped them in frost cloth, the cage that is and said a prayer.

I also moved my vehicle out of the garage, and added about 15 pots with wheel trays. I wheel them out in the am and in at night. I bought nifty wheel trays at Walmart :wink: The 15 day forcast looks good here. We shall see!

Argh! I'll be starting my tomato, pepper, and basil seedlings this Thursday. My eggplant and parsley are looking good, but we're still about six weeks from our last frost date.
I also asked my usual straw source, but since we had such a hot, dry summer last year, he has very little straw available. A friend has several bales for me however, that are two or three years old. Perfect!!

Local meteorologist is calling for a low of 38 saturday night, thats all I need at this point. But weather underground and weather.com seem to disagree. I hope they are more accurate than he is

feldon30 · February 28, 2007

38?

WUnderground.com is saying 45.
Weather.com is saying 48.

WUnderground.com is saying 42 here in Houston on Saturday night.
