We're still not safe for outdoor planting but today we are tilling the beds in the greenhouse, the pots and the garage garden beds, amending the soils as we till so we'll be ready once temps warm up enough to be safe.
Our experimental DIY fish fertilizer will also get started up. I'll treat 1/2 that areas using it, the other 1/2 I'll use Miracle gro. Then we'll all know if it was worth making it.
Great idea on testing the fish fertilizer vs miracle gro.
Good to hear the peppers are doing so well.
I'm planting my garden today, been working on repairing my hoop greenhouse and working on my yard this week.
I'll start my own thread later with pics.
I'm a little jealous you are ~2 weeks ahead on things compared to where we are. Daffodils are just finally blooming! Trees are barely greening up. We missed out most of all the rain that fell - we did get some but not as much as even Huntsville got - it would just split around us. We got some though so we're happy we had barrels out and ready to get what we could. We learn to work with the weather we do get because the views and life are just great here.
Well, we didn't as much accomplished as we had planned. Still one more chilly/frosty night tonight then looks like we'll be pretty safe after that. So, tomorrow we'll work in the GH and raised beds - tilling and planting seeds and some plants. we'll have covers at the ready just in case we need them for a couple more weeks.
I've been pollinating the peppers and tomatoes that are growing inside to be sure they set some good produce on them. Guess they are normally wind pollinated, not bee/bug pollinated. Seems I keep learning more and more. LOL
