  1. Now that we have our greenhouse bench clear, it's time to get going with the first planting of sweetcorn. These 33 pots will make up the first planting (1 40ft. row). We always do 3 plantings, each 2 weeks apart, so when these sprout and get big enough to plant out we will start the next, etc... If you want more info check out my toots from May and June in the last two years.

  6. The green bell pepper plants (King Arthur) followed the tomato plants in to their summer home in the garden today, just ahead of this evening's rain.

  11. Also scattered a bunch of cosmos and other fast-growing annual seeds in with the beans and some of the other larger containers, so we'll see what we get as the summer goes on!

    A couple of the beans got beat up in their first few days outdoors, and I have a couple of extras, so I may attempt swapsies on those tomorrow as well. 👀

  16. Woo! That's almost all the tomatoes, sunflowers, and basil planted, as well as the last cardinal flower and rudbeckia.

    Found some angel's trumpets (datura) volunteering in an old pot with poor soil and no light, so now they've been upgraded. With any luck, at least one will get big enough for some of those beautiful-smelling summer blooms.

    Tomorrow is Nasturtium Day! I have a couple dozen nasturtium seedlings that need to find homes in one container or another.

  21. Looking at all the factors & taking the good with the bad, BeetBear has declared that today is tomato liberation day. We spent a busy morning planting out 12 Jet Star, 12 Moreton, and 2 Supersweet 100 tomato plants & getting the wire supports in place. We also delivered a cartload of tomato, green bell pepper, jalapeño, and eggplant plants to our neighbor. Our own peppers and eggplant will have to wait for another day to be planted out. We're "beet"

  26. Please let the record show that the Johnsons have six tomato plants transplanted and ready to party for 2026. A far cry from the 50 plants we had in 2021, but after zero garden in 2025 it’s good to be back at it.

    - Two Cherokee Purple (hard to grow but THE BEST) / indeterminate
    - Two Husky Red / dwarf indeterminate
    - One early girl determinate
    - One “tomato patio” a determinate cherry type
    * plus whatever we get from our “orange hat” super dwarf plants we started from seed

  32. Hey, Midwest folks. These 3x3 metal raised beds at Menard’s are AWESOME. Buy two and make it a 3x9, because isoperimetric math! I scored ours for under $30. Tomato season is coming 🥰 (Not an ad, just excited)

    Picture shows the fleece wrapping in progress in 2022 because SOMEBODY decided to plant out too early!

  42. It looks increasingly probable that we will be able to plant out the tomatoes, peppers, etc. On or about May 13th. It depends if we want to get them in before or after the predicted rainfall on 13th - 14th. BeetBear is getting desperate to make room in the greenhouse to start the cucurbits and the first planting of sweetcorn! Watching the weather closely!
