OT Might be problems with our food chain this summer or fall, so thinking about planting garden

You too? Lanny, he's talking to himself.

 

HAHAHA

 

Crap. Looks lilke I missed the deadling to order for pick up tomorrow. Anyone have a hazmat suit I can borrow? I need to get things purchased and this weekend before the rain comes next week.

 

I don't have any experience with it yet, but if you click on the Oregon City Farmers Market, as an example, then scroll the product icons all the way to the right, you'll see a category for "All Plant Starters". From there, you can scroll through all of the plant starts offered by various venders.

 

Look on the bright side, more rain means better fishing and less Californians.

 

Grow carrots. Make carrot cake. Blueberries have set. Four artichokes in about a week. Edible now but a bit small.

 

All planted except a couple of tomato starts I need to pick up.

Now a drink, a hammock and I can watch paint dr... plants grow.

 

Nice! Where’d you end up getting your starts?

 

haven't yet. I guess its a bit early for quality starts from what i'm finding out. Now is the time to plant form seed, which we did for most items, but didn't have any tomato seeds. Ill likely try to use the OC farmers market app and order a couple from there as well as a blueberry and raspberry start if the ones I have planted now in the barrels don't take off.

 

If anyone is going to start tomato plants from seed? I highly recommend the Black Krim variety. If you can find the seeds. You may need to order online.

Very tasty large tomatoes, but with an irregular shape. Best tomato I ever eat.

 

And she is okay with that?


edit: I simply read that as you bang with Black Krim....lol

Haven't tried that variety. I have about two dozen tomatoes started from seed. Don't usually set out this early but they are so big they have to come out of their pots. Hardening for a few days first. I order seeds from Territorial in Oregon, they have great varieties. Pineapple, Chocolate Cherry, Green Zebra, Berkeley Pink Tie Dye, among others.

 

I was going to add something but I thought I better not. Lol

 

for a long lasting tomato that is indestructible and giving...roma or cherry tomatoes are the best..roma's are like bell peppers..great for stir fry

 

I usually wait until almost July to plant tomatoes. Quality starts grow so fast in full sun with lots! of water. Once they bear fruit cut off the H20 and the plants will put all their nutrients (and flavor) into the tomatoes.

Is that COVID-19 at 500x? Oh, and I think I see Melo in the background.
