He smoked it, my dad did too. But how many 7 year olds help their stepdad plant weed. We were outlaws. Both of them asked me to pee in a cup. It wasnt until high school health class when I put it all together. Whatever. Weed is just a plant. Outlaws indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been enjoying lunch breaks on the terrace lately, but it was too hot and sunny yesterday! I need to start getting all my pots ready for planting and go get some more potting soil. Love the excitement of planting things in the spring. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue if this is accurate but my aunt always says April 25th is last frost date. She started the seeds already inside so we can transfer shortly after that date. I'm starting early this year. Last year I didn't get stuff in until Memorial Day. Goal this year is tomatoes by 4th of July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal this year is tomatoes by 4th of July. Sounds about right for last frost date. I was thinking my region north of Champaign is sometime in the last week of April. I try to get my things ready to plant by about April 15th, and start checking the extended forecast from there. This year, I am going to plant some seeds in the garden around April 1st. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll sprout and grow, and it will save me a little time. I've had some volunteer seeds come up from the previous year, and they always seem to do better when they start outside compared to starting in a container. No idea if it will work or not, but I've got plenty of seeds. Might as well give it a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I think last frost date is around first week of May for us. The owner of the nursery we used to frequent says not to plant anything in the ground until Mothers Day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 IThere is a lady that I used to buy peppers from at the Bloomington farmers market, which got ruined who wouldn't show up to sell until about the first week of May. Every thing I got from her was a bumper crop. The Chile Woman SME indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 The snow is finally gone from my yard this week. Still saw some ice on a lake Tues but have to figure that might be gone now as well. Going to be cooler this weekend but going to try and get an early round of fertilizer down. Seems like the costs for that have been rising. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to what everybody here uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
