Since my strawberries didn't survive, I ordered 50 bare roots.
I find it really hard to believe that out of 75 bare roots not I plant lived.

Very interesting read Doc! Thanks!!
Porcher's book is on Amazon, but this board won't let me post links to Amazon for some odd reason.
The name of the book is
Resources Of The Southern Fields And Forests, Medical, Economical And Agricultural: Being Also A Medical Botany Of The Southern States
5 days ago I started tomatoe seeds and today they are 2 inches high. I was just going to water and boom.... growth. I put the heat lamp on the for about an hour once per day. Afraid that more would melt the plastic cover.
It must have worked. Now I will use the full spectrum bulb

Finally got some pepper and tomato seeds started 2 days ago. No growth yet, but didn’t expect any of course. My others starts are doing really well!
Does anyone else grow Shishito Peppers? I’ve got some of those started. They are so tasty!

BOL1 is still 8b. BOL2 is still 7b. But they were near the edge of the zone before, now they are not.
Mine changed from a to b. Ask me if I trust anything the USDA says?
Have to crow a bit because I’ve already got Brussel Sprouts growing on my outdoor plants! And small Cabbages forming too! These plants made it through the really cold spells this winter and I am thrilled!!!
Also have some Broccoli growing in my Greenhouse! Woohoo! Off to a great start!

I got 40 fig trees started from cuttings. The tree they came from is one that was in the back yard when I was growing up. My sister bought my parents' house and the tree is still.going strong.

Has anyone planted Aronia Bushes for the berries? I realize they have to be very ripe and used in jams or pies to be truly tasty. The reason I ordered some is to put around the lake/pond, which we spend too much time fighting wild blackberry growth. Thought I would put something there that spreads, we can eat, and doesn’t have thistles. They are actually considered top of the list as an anticarcinogen and cancer fighter.

As we all know, Mother Nature doesn't care how much pain we have. I sat on the ground and planted 50 strawberry bare roots. This was necessary since I lost all 75 planted last Fall.
being out in the sun actually made me feel great aside from the excruciating pain. Lol
Next I have to plant potatoes. Don't know if I can do that sitting down. Usually use a shovel to dig holes.

Is there not a tool similar to that used to make holes to put posts into the ground , ,like 2 shovel , sorry do not know the correct name picked this up on the web
Whether you are building a fence or putting up a flagpole or a bird house on a pole, you may find the need to dig a small diameter hole. Using a shovel for this job means making your hole larger than you need, so you may choose to use post hole diggers for the job instead. Here is how it is done.

hope this might help
Boy, even though I sat on the ground, I overdid it yesterday. Had to get up at midnight and get the ice pack. I decided to go to my doctor next week and have her order the mri. Don't want to go to anyone with surgeon by his name.
Ideas for gathering water for your gardens or greenhouses!
In some states, this is illegal. Hard to imagine.
