My peach trees blooming in early March? It's either going to be a long hot summer in Ohio or it'll freeze again and mess everything up.

82 in NC, 50/30 next week. #March

We're planting some lettuce now, we have some tomato and cucumber seedlings inside. Those will come out end of April I think.

We've been up and down all winter, it's been odd. 60 degrees and sunny one day, 30 and dreary the next. Not a bad winter for Ohio.

I decided long ago to wait about 2 weeks after mother's day to plant anything here. It works for me. Recent years we've had freezing weather after mother's day.

I missed my window for one this spring, I might try to plant something simple late summer. Regardless, I'm going to focus on soil maintenance this spring/ summer.

My Mint plants are already full. Added to Kentucky Bourbon and Coke.

I have to cull our mint regularly or it takes over. The sage and parsley are bolting too fast to keep up and the grapes are looking pretty darn good. Might get a few lemons this year. That would be a first. And the asparagus is giving me enough to make at least ME happy. Nobody else gets any though. LOL.

Same. We also have wild mint; mint we never planted, just growing in our yard,

We transplanted baby tomato plants yesterday from containers into the raised beds, pulled the last of the lettuce/arugula/kale.

We have a ton of wild mint along our shoreline. Whenever I cut the "grass" it smells amazing for a few days.

I keep mine confined in a wood planter box on the deck and they come back every year. Smells great and when I sit on the deck, its handy to pick and throw in my adult beverage of choice.

Operation Futile Shovel started today. After two years of neglect, the first of my 4x8's is being cleaned out. I'll plant Saturday, Insha'Allah. 2 maters, 1 cucumber, 1 jalapeno, and 1 basil plus flowers for insect control and bee attraction. I'm debating if I can squeeze in an extra jalapeno plant since they aren't yuge.

The four Anaheim chili plants we put in last year bloomed and gave us some smaller than expected chilis. Turns out someone mislabeled them. I found out the hard way when I bit into one.

Anaheim peppers are my favorite. I use roasted Anaheim's in my homemade salsa. I've always bought them but me thinks I'm going to try grow some this year.

Tomato seedlings have popped, waiting on Anaheim and bell peppers to spring.

We're starting our tomatoes this weekend, putting spring greens in the garden.

Still have 2 months before anything goes in the ground here, but we're having some nice weather right now. I've learned my lessons about planting too early in the midwest.

I've only had luck with planting dog shit in the giant snow banks. But it still hasn't grown anything.

We still have a while before planting tomatoes, but greens can go in now. My wife will pant the tomatoes in the cups this weekend and we'll put them in a bay window until mid-May.
