Gardening edition of the diary thread

[Cassie]

April 2

Planted AT LEAST 30 okra seeds. Transplanted 10 tomatoes. NEARLY DIED. I had to stop when it got about 80 in the shade. I've got about 40 onion sets to get in the ground, and I still need to pick up some squash, eggplant, and cucumber. OH and I've still got to plant peas. My legs feel like jello.

 

[Dr Dave]

Will you plant onions?

 

[Dr Dave]

COOL

 

[CaptainWacky]

Good defence against zombies.

April 3:

Gathered up some water hoses so I could water the okra. I've never had a garden in this spot before, so I REALLY need to run a water line out there and get some little sprinkler things set up.

Neighbor gave me 10 more tomato plants. Once I get them all transplanted I will have 24 tomatoes... I will have to find people to give them to.

Legs still like jello. Right thumb turning green.

 

[Dr Dave]

You may wish to locate new legs in the event yours give out.

 

[headvoid]

Or find a gardening system that can accomodate Jello Legs.

Really low level beds?

WHY ARE THERE NO FUCKING PICTURES IN THIS THREAD?

 

[Cassie]

The batteries in my camera are dead, and I can't recharge them because when I got new rechargeable batteries for my camera, I didn't get the right kind and I don't have a charger The old ones recharged in the camera when I set it on the dock thingy.

 

[curiousa2z]

no pics yet as all I had to show today was dirty snow...but it's been raining this evening so maybe those April showers will bring May flowers! (just dont turn into SNOW tonight - PLEASE)

 

[Ilyanna]

Cassie, you're way ahead of me! While we don't have to fear snow anymore like c2 does, it's still a bit too early to start planting season. (I'm not much of a veggie-growing person, anyway, but my fingers itch to go out and plant my annuals). All I can do at this point is to admire Auriculas, daffodils, and crocuses providing some well-needed color.

 

[headvoid]

First pic is of the seeds we are getting ready. Mainly salads and beans

Next one is potato! Lots of 2nd and 1st early varieties in the ground

Is it a bin? What is a bin doing here?

RHUBARB RHUBARB RHUBARB (sweet and delicious, but not to everyone's taste.

Raspberries starting up

And here is where it all starts LOTS AND LOTS OF HORSE SHIT

 

[headvoid]

DOUBLE HORSE SHIT

 

[curiousa2z]

headvoid, your garden is coming along very nicely!
meanwhile, I have my catalogues to dream with.......

 

[CaptainWacky]

There's only bodies in my garden.

April 4:

Was planning to win the lottery and hire a sexy Mexican gardener, changed plans, will kidnap headvoid instead. Srsly, your garden makes mine look like poo. ALSO, one of my little okra plants DIED

 

[Cassie]

April 5:

Rained all morning, but not as bad as last week. My garden thanks the rain gods for the cool drink of water. Hope my seeds didn't wash away.

 

[headvoid]

I am available for kidnapping, but I do smell quite like a horses ass.

 

[Dr Dave]

She could wash you off with a hose.
