How's it growin folks?

Bunch of plantings popping up with the warm weather..

Found some Dark Star Zucchini seeds that are looking mighty strong, some double yield cukes also showing their heads..

 

Leeks, red cabbage, red sail lettuce, romaine, swish chard, soy beans, beets, kale and brussel sprouts. 

Planted most of it 3 weeks ago and the weather has not been very conducive here in the 203. Slow sledding to date. Today is warm though, hopefully enough to jump start things a bit.

Peppers and tomatoes going in after Memorial Day.

I planted a bunch a few weeks ago as well, then the temps went down to the 30's and it snowed,  I moved everything into the garage for a while, today it will be in the 80's 

Weird Spring...

Potatoes and asparagus popping up the past few days. Strawberries are flowering. Chives scallions green onions all good. Garlic's been up for 6 or 7 weeks now but doesn't look to be up to par, the ground not freezing all winter really messed with it. Tomatoes peppers broccoli and b sprouts I started from seed ready to go in mem day.  Many seeds to plant outdoors soon. Roses all look strong. Tornado warning for my area today and tonight, battening down the hatches, right after this next bud.

^ what, no prunes ?

Are your plants cannibals, Noodler, or merely entomovores?

I did have one of my pitcher plants grow a pitcher that encircled another overfed (by sugar ants) pitcher at the base, killing it...  so that might fall under the cannibal plant distinction...  

Otherwise, sold 3 flats of sundews to a local nursery for decent money,  and they'd love to buy some Venus Flytraps from me if the seeding project works;

Looks like something from the 'Alien' universe .. nice!

Don't have much of a yard so I'm buying a cherry tomato plant for the deck.
