While I was scared that I started my zukes too early, I will be eating our first later this week. My cucumbers almost died but I saved two plants, I now have a few cukes about an inch long, maybe I didn't fertilize them soon enough. I tend to forget to do that while they're indoors. I have 31 tomato plants this year, we'll see if I regret that later! Happy happy gardening and let's hope for some sunshine! Wish washy, I was hoping for rain last week to quell the fires, now I want sunshine!!Gingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-46287008248951964732011-06-14T13:39:42.871-08:002011-06-14T13:39:42.871-08:00I am such a voyeur.

I think it is going to do well this summer. I spread plastic over the beds to keep in moisture and increase heat, on everything I direct seed. It saves a lot of watering and improves germination especially on little seeds like carrots.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124854790635683665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-15664172062988394232011-06-14T11:12:56.056-08:002011-06-14T11:12:56.056-08:00Emily, your garden is farther along than ours!

We've got plastic spread over a bunch of the beds to help warm the soil. But the beans are finally up, peppers are kinda taking off in the greenhouse, we lost all the okra to heat, and we're still planting carrots and beets. How does your celery do? We planted some for the first time last year, and it did well, but the stuff we started from seed this year looks pitiful.<br /><br />I like the geese!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642418104675215796noreply@blogger.com
