Planted fall crops this week. More beans, cucumbers, cantelope, black eyed peas, okra, and lettuce. Need to get broccoli and cabbage seeds in the ground too.

Sweet potatoes are grown from slips. Just stick a sweet potato in a glass of water on a sunny windowsill and shoots will start growing. Cut them off and root in water then plant. Just takes a few days.

Still harvesting asparagus in our rainy spring. Something is eating my strawberries though. I'm suspicious that I have a little turtle in them. It's either that or wild birds. Peas still haven't bloomed but they are still growing like mad. Potatoes are about four feet tall. I've never seen them...

I never even made it in my garden today when the sun was up. Left at 5:30 am, got home at 11:10 pm. I'm exhausted ...

Nothing. Its been raining for three days now. Need the moisture but the weeds need pulled too.

My rogue chicken dug up my asparagus and broke off four stalks. Then it destroyed three of my strawberry plants, ate all of my cabbage transplants, and half a row of peas. She is now in chicken jail awaiting her fate tomorrow.

Planted my strawberries and basil and harvested more asparagus. The broccoli is heading out well, apple trees still blooming, currants in full bloom, and we have little baby peaches for the first time in three years!! I am soooo happy

What are you transplanting out? Most things can be planted pnce they have four true leaves on them. If you set your seedlings out in the sun during the day they'll grow faster. Up-potting will also give them a boost. I'm in northern oklahoma and already have tomatoes in the ground.

Were scheduled for a freeze tonight so we just spent two hours draping fruit trees with plastic sheets and setting out buckets of hot water. Of course my apple trees decided to bloom out today of all days. Sigh.

The blueberry looks like it has nitrogen burn to me. Too much fertilizer or raw compost?? But blueberries are my nemesis so I could be totally off. I've never had asparagus bud that quickly before. Are you in a drought situation or having exceptionally hot days?? That can throw off a plants...

Yeah. We purposely burn our old garden stuff and branches in the fall on top of the garden and then mix the ash in the soil. The native americans used to set the prairie on fire so that the grass would grow better for grazing.

Tomatoes are in the ground!! Oh yeah!! Well, at least some of them are. Since we haven't hit last frost date yet, I'm reserving a few in case we get that last bit of bizarre weather Oklahoma is known for. I think I'm pretty good though. My asparagus finally came up as well. Getting ready to...

Replanted the lettuce and spinach my chickens ate ... sigh. Carrots have finally sprouted. Yeah!

Welcome!!! Sounds like you've been busy already. I'm in zone 6b or 7a depending on who you ask. Lol. Been gardening here for over 30 years now and I'm still learning how to make the seasons work for me. Every year is an experiment in something.

Rainy today but the lettuce, spinach, and peas are up finally. The peach tree is in full bloom so hopefully we dont get anymore freezes and the apple trees are just beginning to open buds.

Lol. Planted potatoes and rehung netting over bird yard. Sounds easy but we have to shovel and move compost then dig up bed to incorporate it before we plant.

Lettuce is sprouting and peas are growing. Yippee!!!

New shovels at Lowes in lawn and garden section for $10. Planted kohlrabi, kale, garlic, lettuce, blackberries, bosenberries, and raspberries yesterday. Dug up and added compost to one bed and several growing pots. Planting artichokes and beans today. Then looking for flowers to plant.
