• still too cold here

    From songbird@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 27 11:12:17 2022
    last night got down pretty cold and we had a bit of snow so
    there won't be any gardening for a few weeks at least.

    also a lot of rain a few days ago, ground is way too wet for
    me to be out there doing much.

    this time of the year it is mostly a matter of waiting and
    trying to get a few projects done before the weather gets nice
    enough again.

    eventually peas and onion sets will go in. sometime in the
    next three weeks. i hope. :)

    Similarly here but waiting on Autumn/Fall plantings, still to warm and no
    sign of rain but just right for a bit of weed pulling and some maintenance.

    Snow today in Eastern Ohio as well. Should melt by tomorrow, but
    there's some slight accumulation.

    Snow again. The weeds are LOVING IT. Your
    weeds out in force yet?

    Yes, I have lots of whiskey weed (knotwood?) popping up again. I've
    been very hesitant to use Roundup, but I'm seriously consider it,
    because I'm absolutely sick of the stuff taking over my hillside every
    year, no matter how often I sickle it (the hill drops off to a busy
    road, WAY too steep to mow).

    Tomorrow is 80 degrees, same as Sunday. First nice weather of the year,
    in my opinion. I'm loving it! Time to hack down some old overgrowth at
    my new garage (separate parcel from my house a few blocks away) before
    the vines and thorns take over again -- it hadn't been maintained in a
    decade before myself and my step father bought it at Sheriff's sale.

    it still isn't full on planting season here yet either.
    just the more cold tolerant plants can go in now for a few
    more weeks yet.

    mid-May and on more warmer weather plantings can go in.
    i guess that is where the word Maybe comes from?

    I am about to buy a bunch of rock salt.

    On sale for next year, or do you live in a cold climate?

    I am fighting weeds an banks but do not want to kill the stuff that
    belongs there and have been trying Preen. I put it on before using
    premerg on the lawn as some weeds come in early.

    My front yard is the target. My decorative rocks

    My grandparents always used potassium in their water softener, instead
    of salt.

    we've has a few frosts the past few days. i don't
    see any near frost temperatures in the forecast for now
    but that can change. it has been pretty dry here. some
    chance of rain for tonight that wasn't in the forecast
    all week (of course i have an excavator project that
    might happen tomorrow) up until this morning.

    i really need to get some peas planted and perhaps i'll
    try to get some early beans planted too - some seeds i
    have about 15lbs so i'm not in danger of running out of
    those and they do have a great fresh bean too along with
    the dry and shellies.

    mainly though i need to get the peas planted and of
    course plenty of weeding to catch up on.

    we've has a few frosts the past few days. i don't
    see any near frost temperatures in the forecast for now
    but that can change. it has been pretty dry here. some
    chance of rain for tonight that wasn't in the forecast
    all week (of course i have an excavator project that
    might happen tomorrow) up until this morning.

    i really need to get some peas planted and perhaps i'll
    try to get some early beans planted too - some seeds i
    have about 15lbs so i'm not in danger of running out of
    those and they do have a great fresh bean too along with
    the dry and shellies.

    mainly though i need to get the peas planted and of
    course plenty of weeding to catch up on.

    If I plant my onion seeds a little too early, are
    they in danger of dying do to the cold?

    if you plant when it is too cold the seeds may take longer
    to germinate or they may rot before sprouting.

    they do best when planted when it is warm enough, most people
    will grow them by starting them in pots to plant out later after
    the worst of the cold is past.

    take a hint from the plant and when it sets seeds and drops
    them. not early. mid-summer to later to grow in the later
    summer and into the fall so they can be ready for the next
    spring when the warmer weather comes around again.
