Flooding rain did not harm my "crop"

ALL THE RAIN WE HAD...9 inches in one day...did not harm my babies!!!!!!!!!!


Carrot seeds are sprouting in my windowsill "GREENHOUSE"

Radishes started from seeds are sprouting.
Oregano started from seeds is ready to transplant

This is my recycled, repurposed, makeshift planter. It contains yellow crookneck squash and cucumbers.

This is my new dwarf Meyer Lemon tree.

Meyer Lemons are wonderful large lemons that have an orangy taste! Yummmm

THIS IS MY NEW STRAWBERRY IN A SELF-WATERING POT

THE RED AND YELLOW PEPPERS ARE DOING JUST FAB!!

April Showers were great!

We had a few rainy day, but now the sun is shining again and my garden plants are happy.  Sofia is happy too...she can play outside in her playhouse and sandbox while I putter around.

This is my new lemon tree...I need to repot it.
 
The romaine is really good....I have been using it for salads.

Tomatoes galore!   I counted 41 total on all my plants.  Wow!!


My red and yellow peppers are producing as well.

I have a few more plants to plant:  Strawberry, watermelon, yellow squash (my squash did not do so well last year they were mutant looking), and cucumber.  I need to go out and get more pots.

Happy planting!!!

Has the the cold snap hurt my plants?

We've had a very wet and cold week. Rain and temperatures in the 40's and 50's. Today it is finally sunny and warm. Looks like my plants have all held up well.

I believe that unless the temperatures fell below 35F, there probably is no permanent damage to the plants. Just give them a week or two to recover. They should then produce a normal harvest. It's just that it will be a couple of weeks later than normal. If you had just transplanted very small plants, they may go through a shock period but should do fine.

My tomatoes still have blooms but overall look pretty good.

How my garden grows

Pictures from this morning.

Cilantro, parsley, basil, marjoram are doing nicely.

Romaine lettuce is looking lush.
Yellow pepper has a bloom.
Potted tomatoes are blooming.

I also planted 3 more tomatoes in my empty earthbox container just before the rain arrived.
