jillyd	Posted - Apr 22 2016 : 1:43:48 PM My chickpeas germinated beautifully and are just about ready to transplant, tomatoes, beans, broccoli and lettuce are also all doing well. I finally made my garden plan for the year, so I know where everything should be going, BUT I don't have enough bed space for everything I want to plant. Might just have to make more beds.

Bear5	Posted - Apr 21 2016 : 11:47:42 AM I've never seen a five leaf clover! Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

katmom	Posted - Apr 20 2016 : 10:55:09 PM Well, I got my 'taters' in the ground,,, then I did a little weeding and look what I found! yup! more 4-leaf clovers... all kinds of different sizes... I even found a 5-leaf one... I think I am pretty well stocked up on "Good Luck"... lol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Bear5	Posted - Apr 20 2016 : 11:40:20 AM We've planted carrots, green beans, tomatoes, okra, parsley, onion tops, and cucumbers. Can't wait to harvest!

NikisMom	Posted - Apr 19 2016 : 7:11:29 PM I have not planted yet however, I am working on prepping my vegetable beds with screened compost. Black gold for the plants!
katmom	Posted - Apr 17 2016 : 9:06:37 PM Today.... we transplanted 2 fig trees, 2 Hibicus and 1 Hydrenga... We had to dig them up last Fall. The gophers were trying their best to get to the roots.... A good watering and a dose of vita-B and hopefully they will survive being transplanted... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
YellowRose	Posted - Apr 12 2016 : 11:49:11 AM Yes, Connie, chicken boots do make gardening fun. Went to Kelly's fruit & veg stand today and bought one six-pack yellow marigold and four six-pack yellow portulaca which is one of my all time favorites. Nine portulac plants are for the strawberry pot. The others in pots along the sidewalk to house. If I have any plants leftover they will go in a wall planter at back door which opens onto the deck.

naturemaiden	Posted - Apr 12 2016 : 11:20:20 AM I've started tomatoes, peppers and a few flowers. Soon will be the beans, and squashes. I direct seeded the carrot bed last week. Last fall I planted the garlic and it's growing nicely now. I can't wait to put my chicken boots on and play in the dirt! http://www.naturemaiden.com/ Handcrafted Soap & Candles http://saratoga-rose.blogspot.com/ My published books & other writing. http://modern-day-laura.blogspot.com/ Filled with everything I love! http://www.thriftyfarmgirl.com/ Vintage Sewing Machine Parts
laurzgot	Posted - Apr 07 2016 : 6:06:59 PM Sara, Give it time. I'll have to plant my pepper plants in a couple of weeks. You have some wonderful spices growing. Fresh spice are always great. Hugs, Laurie Country girl at heart "Smile and be yourself everyday."
YellowRose	Posted - Apr 06 2016 : 2:46:51 PM Laurie your garden sounds wonderful. My two Tabasco pepper plants haven't gown much - it's still not hot enough for them here. The three pots of thyme and one lemon grass are slowly filling their containers. Sara~~~ FarmGirl Sister #6034 8/25/14 FarmGirl of the Month Sept 2015.

laurzgot	Posted - Apr 06 2016 : 2:09:33 PM I've got lettuce, potatoes, strawberries and tomatoes with the fruit on them. My grapefruit tree has hundreds of blooms turning into fruit. I also have tiny peaches growing bigger every day. Hugs, Laurie Country girl at heart "Smile and be yourself everyday."
NY Pumpkin girl	Posted - Apr 06 2016 : 12:33:47 PM We are also getting snow today... I don't think Spring will arrive... NY Pumpkin girl Farmgirl sister 6634.
jillyd	Posted - Apr 06 2016 : 10:21:54 AM My assorted tomatoes are up. I seeded various lettuce, chick peas (a new experiment this year) and broccoli so far. Lots to go yet. Got most of my beds weeded which felt really good and makes the garden look tidy at least! I just love getting out and getting growing this time of year! Jill Farmgirl #6748
NikisMom	Posted - Apr 06 2016 : 09:46:07 AM No planting here, we received 6 inches of snow on Monday. Patiently waiting for the melting. I was ready to start my cold loving crops and then WHAM, Mother Nature had other plans. In a few more weeks.....
NY Pumpkin girl	Posted - Apr 04 2016 : 6:19:30 PM I just started three tomato seeds. This year I am going to try and grow giant tomatoes. The seeds I planted came from a 7+ lb tomato. NY Pumpkin girl Farmgirl sister 6634.
edlund33	Posted - Apr 03 2016 : 9:21:56 PM We've had an unusually warm and dry week so we managed to get our garden tilled this weekend. Wont be able to plant for at least another 3-4 weeks though when it warms up a bit. Our last frost date is April 30th. I ordered package bees for May delivery earlier this week. Also went to our new Tractor Supply store today and bought some feeding troughs to use as raised garden planters that my Mom can reach from her wheelchair. Was SO hard for me to walk out of there without a handful of chicks and ducklings....

Dapple Grey Lady	Posted - Apr 03 2016 : 7:52:26 PM Got tomatoes plants planted, radish seeds in the ground. Son planted asparagus bed. Peppers and squash went in today. Still have herbs to pot. Also have pumpkin seeds started. ~ Betty ~ Farmgirl Sister # 5589
YellowRose	Posted - Mar 29 2016 : 10:08:09 AM At the fruit/veg stand I bought two Tabasco pepper plants to put into pots. One lemon grass that I have already planted in a pot for the front yard. Rain is forecast for tomorrow so I'm glad it's potted. Also bought 2 yellow lantana hanging baskets and one large red geranium. They don't have to be repotted - instant garden color.

Bonnie Ellis	Posted - Mar 06 2016 : 8:12:20 PM I am really enjoying your excitement about planting. I just noticed my red geraniums in the South window are blooming. Makes me think spring anyway even though we will get more snow. grandmother and orphan farmgirl
Simply Satisfied	Posted - Mar 06 2016 : 05:17:08 AM I just planted my cold frame yesterday. We have had an exceptionally warm late Feb and March so our ground is well thawed. Our last frost isn't until late May so not much else will go outside until much later. I will be starting indoor starts next week. Emily Farmgirl # 3591
Killarney	Posted - Mar 04 2016 : 12:14:51 PM I have seeds on the way! It feels like Spring here! The daffodils are blooming and my Azaleas are about to bloom! Farmgirl Hugs! Connie Imagine....#3392
