My peas. Some in pots or planters and others are in ground.

you're doing great Rita.
I planted bush watermelon seed in a starter pot today.

I want the weather to turn nice enough to plant the tomatoes outside. !!!

Bought some today- Cherokee purple, Early girl and Celebrity in fourpacks, 2.25 each, wasn't planning on twelve plants but decided that was better than hunting around for singles (even though last year I found peppers in 'singles' with 2-3 plants per). I would try to save 1-2 each for swap but they're pretty big already, not sure how they'll look in 2 weeks?
Also 4 jalapeno. I think 4 of that is OK.

Where did you find those Sally? I haven't looked at veggies yet.

Fantastic prices. And much cheaper than even one plant would be at the big box stores here.

Never too many tomatoes just find space for all twelve!!

Home Depot and all the other places are already fully stocked with Bonnie's herbs and veggies. Every tomato- pepper--herb, etc .
Matter of fact--they are on sale (Mother's day")--4 for $12 until April 30th. Not a huge savings--$3 each is not so much....but these are reg. $3.78 each.
Check our their add. lots and lots of specials.... Gita

Robin, glad you asked. Papa Johns has eight huge greenhouses of stuff! I never knew they did all that! You see some hoop houses from New Cut Road, turn in then turn left away from the red barn and you'll find parking, cashier and greenhouses. Also had Rutgers, Beefsteak, Supersonic, Mountain Pride, Roma, Mr Stripey, Brandywine, several cherry and couple patio types, bunch of peppers (hot and mild banana, habanero, jalapeno, ghost, bell, orange bell, couple long kinds).petunias, calibrachoas, bacopa, coleus, herbs, hibiscus, bananas, sweet potato vines...lots.. How many tomatoes will you want? I can part with some of these. I also wanted to see what RIchardsons ($$) has on Elvaton Rd, and will do that tomorrow. I have three little Sungolds I started myself, I was going to only use one.

Also wanted to alert you that I went by the Knopps greenhouse off New Cut, where I said I got my bale of potting mix- they are not even set up with anything yet. I don't know what's up, maybe they fill their three small greenhouse just before Mothers day?? baffled. Looked deserted and a mess.

silly Tomatillos, three seeds sprouted quickly, now, weeks later, boatload more have just germinated.

Mark borrowed a tiller and my plot went from awful to awesome in a half hour.

My goodness, I will definitely have to check out Papa John's, I only knew about the produce they sell.
Having a 'blah' day, Should I go to the Science March in Annapolis or spread mulch or pull weeds, or ...

58* right now....good day to do some organizing/re-potting in my garden....

Have a huge display rack to lug outside on which I hope to put all my bigger CC's.
They are all SOOO dry having been inside all winter... Give them a good soaking...

OHHH--I forgot that i was planning to re-pot all the CC's as well................Need to make up some gritty soil.Phew...I forgot all about it...

Yesterday, I repotted both my old, BIG Epis. OUCH! Those tiny thorns!!!...
I have never done it before. This should refresh all the old, dry Epis have lived in it for years! Maybe I will get more blooms???..

I work tomorrow! It will be insane! Mother's Day--lots of sales...BIG ad out...

Robin, rain in forecast, might make walking a bit iffy, then again, might be a bit fun.

Gita, HD down here was totally jam packed! Four cashier lines...lots of plant material flying out the doors . Super many Tropicals everywhere.

Robin and Sally, Papa Johns has a stand at Farmers Market here.

A crappy weekend here so I don't imagine that it would be too, too bad at the Nursery Section of HD. Don't know though as I am not going there today.

Meanwhile, another local nursery near me, seems to be just getting their greenhouses going. Only a small group of tomatoes, a dozen or so types in 2 inch individuals for 1.50. I got cheaper yesterday by sticking with the fourpacks, even if I give away some. But this place does take good care of plants, very pretty in their floral area.
Everyone around here seems to sell the same dozen tomatos more or less. Oh, but this place does have two of the new 'blue' tomatoes.
I did buy two Orange Blaze peppers, they seem to taste really good. Small fruit.

Sally, there is a new wholesale nursery in town called Tidal Creek growers in Davidsonville that many local garden centers etc use for their plants now . Might explain some lack of variety in selections.

Hm, interesting.
I wish they picked a few of the more popular tomato varieties according to our veg forum members and that awesome data assembled by.. Don?

Hey, a find today,- the nursery I went to is carrying Chesapeake Compost works products

Located in White Marsh.

I think we're getting horse manure tomorrow

It takes a special kind of woman to smile at getting horse manure.

I guess I've got a special kind of women .

Most gardening couples do. Pretty much, since we have retired that's all we do, and help family and friends where we can. Holly does most of that at the kids and grands while I man the home front.
