It's been since last April since I posted on this board.
2016 was not a good garden year for me - by the time I got my beans, peas and lettuce planted (in late April), I jumped into a major kitchen remodeling project that lasted the whole Summer. I did get most of my tomato and pepper plants planted at the end of May, but that is really where it all stopped. The weather was near perfect, thankfully, because I did not water anything. I did pick a bunch of peas and beans, the lettuce withered, I harvested about 100# of tomatoes total, but zero peppers. I still have two adjoining rooms to my kitchen yet to finish (only paint and laminate flooring left to do) but that shouldn't take too long - waiting on my tax return to fund those projects - so that will keep me busy for a few weeks in Mar/Apr, but shouldn't interfere too much with my germinating and planting out. I do plan to set up a small indoor green house in my barely heated sunroom so that I can get started a little early with the pepper plants. All of the rest will be done on my usual schedule with hopes of a warm May so that I can transplant outdoors a little earlier. |

Yes,you do have a lot to do but remember what Scarlett O'Hara said to Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind....tomorrow is another day. ![]() What caught my eye was your comment about waiting for your tax return, and I resonate with that,I really do. ![]() Carolyn
