With the warm weather in NY, . . .
« on: April 12, 2012, 11:44:14 AM »
Our church went ahead and plowed up the land on April 1st; and we marked out our garden plots last evening.  I'm doing a double plot again this year--20'x30', and I may grab another plot or two of we don't fill 'em all.  We have two (I think, at least one) for "Community Service," to donate to area food pantries.  I'm putting in red cabbage (yes, the VRWC Secret Agents!) seeds this weekend, as well as a few other things.  I've got to start my tomatoes; I may just say "**** it" and buy small plants and go that way.

Anyone else starting their vegetable gardens?

Already started for more than a month down here.  Potatoes, melons, corn, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, okra.

We usually start ours in May, for the past couple of years we've had to do the vegetables in pots because our soil was infected with a disease and the tomatoes became really messed up.

I put in a couple of tomatos, and some green bell peppers yesterday. We now have snow down to 3500 ft and our house sits at 2000.     :bs:

Our flat leaf parsley however, is going nutz.

I had our resident gardener at work tell me that he'd wait until May 15th.  I figure that I can get some of the potatoes in.

I'll start next week. I was tempted back a few weeks ago due to the warm weather. I'm glad I didn't start because we've gotten down to freezing the last 2 nughts. Some fellows say they lost all their arden stuff to frost. This should be the last cool spell we have.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Well, I put potatoes in today, and I brought The Heiress with me.  I held one seed potato back, as if something doesn't come up, I'll sub it in.  Cabbage seeds tomorrow.  In seed starters that are on tray tables six-seven feet from me as I type this, I've got 100 tomato seeds in, 25 Purple Blush Hybrid eggplant seeds in, and 25 Tequila Sunrise hot pepper seeds in.  The starters are peat moss, which is shipped compressed and requires water to expand.  I'm going to Lowe's and getting Brussels sprouts and some cayenne pepper seeds--then starting the cayenne peppers almost immediately.  I just may put the Brussels sprouts in tomorrow--a cousin of mine, who lives 4-5 miles from me, planted his sprouts today, along with broccoli.

We had a hard frost last night . . . but I bought plastic cups to put over the Brussles sprouts.  Out of the 17 that I put into the ground, I didn't lose a single one when I took the cups off this morning.

Red cabbage seeds and dwarf grey sugar snow peas in today.  I think they'll be alright this week, with a possible nor'easter (no shit!) coming Monday evening into Tuesday.

We're getting a well drilled tomorrow, right by the garden.  Not quite sure which hand-pumping equipment will be used on the well, but it will be hand-powered.  The water table is only 20 or so feet down.  More to follow.

We tried to put the point in today.  Well, we got the pipe in the ground, but the driving cap we have on the thing has been tearing the shit out of the threads of the pipe.  The point is down 14 feet.  We figure that we've got to go about 3 to 5 feet more to get water, but before that, we've got to find a pipe rethreader for a 1 1/4"-diameter pipe.  It just so happens that my brother-in-law's father has one, and my BIL is going to see his father tomorrow.  I don't know when we'll be able to actually use the rethreader; probably next weekend.

I've got my Yukon Gold potatoes poking through the ground now.  Maybe another type, too--I really can't remember what.  Also, 8 of the 9 peas I planted have sprouted.  Something has eaten most of the leaves off of two of my Brussels sprouts plants.  The others have grown about 1 to 2 inches since I put them in.  No joy on the red cabbage (VRWC Special Agent type) yet.
