jjannie's 2021 Garden

[jjannie]

Jil, sounds like you have some good plans for this year.  I have very limited space so I planted two fruit cocktail trees right next to each other.  Last fall, I purchased a bunch of Walls O Water.  I took a leap of faith and planted my tomatoes, green peppers and seeds for cucumbers and squash on April 2nd.

You can be a bit braver than we can on the backside of Wasatch mtns - but love your leap of faith attempt. I started seeds on 2 April with the plan for them to ready for outside by Mother's day or later.  We are still getting many nights in the upper 20s.   even then we still use walls water until about June. We did buy our cherry and sun sugar tomatoes already for outside planting yesterday but we'll put them out on sunny days then back into the garage window for overnight because if we wait until we can plant nothing is left to buy. We also picked up a flat (36 plants) of June Bearing strawberries whiel were at it and we'll supplement them with our current ones as needed for our newly built strawberry planters. Trying to get a lot done as well as getting out to fish every now and then - its a time-balancing act that's for sure.
