Which county are you located? I'm thinking to move out the zucchinis this weekend and start the greens. You got a great start and managed to stop them from getting too leggy.
Warren county. I bought some potting soil And started mixing the new stuff in with the old stuff in my deck containers and flower pots just to be ready. I also direct sowed some sugar snap peas into planters outside yesterday. they can definitely handle this weather and Im going to move out my tomatoe plants since I already had to move them into much bigger pots. And I'll bring them in if it's going to drop real low at night. I will start some zucchini, cumber and sunflowers within the next week or so inside they grow pretty quick.

View attachment 155312i already gave a bunch of stuff away trying to figure out what to do with it all now until it's time to plant outside.with all the upgrades I made to my setup and the mistakes I've learned from my success rate was very high and everything grew way faster than normal this year. These are all plenty big enough to put outside already now I need to keep them alive almost another month before they can go outside

That looks like a great setup to get a large number of plants started, made the mistake to show it to the wife...now she needs it. But yeah, so far she's haveing good success with her babies (tomatoes, cucumber, cabbage etc.), she gets them going hydroponic then she moves them into small pots then either large pots or the ground. Last year it was mostly cucumbers and cherry tomamtoes, they would not stop produce well into the fall, this year she's trying some bigger tomatoes for a change.

Asparagus are popping out, she planted them last year. Unfortunately some pest seemed interested and dag out a couple of clusters but did not eat them, so I put them back underground and so far so good.

Tomato, berry bushes and cilantro are all hardened off already have only needed to take them inside a few times at night but after tommorow I think I'm in the clear frost wise. Going to start hardening off everything else starting Monday. Started some sunflowers, zuks and cuks last week they are growing fast. everything else is growing out of control can't wait to get it all out of the house 😂PXL_20210424_102941314.jpgPXL_20210424_102926911.jpgPXL_20210424_102917901.jpgPXL_20210424_102904799.jpgPXL_20210423_215153113.jpgPXL_20210423_215209271.jpg

How far from the house for the cherry? Mine is about 5-6 ft and needs trimming yearly to stay off the house. But mine is over 10 yo

Have you put them in the ground yet? Wife left them outside too long last week and might have scorched the matoes. Sad 😭

Gasko's Family Farm in Monroe.

Absolute Pandemonium first thing Saturday Morning.

Got a wide variety of tomatoes and peppers. Going to try the Zucchini's this year along with some strawberries. She got a bunch of flowers like normal, I'll have to plant those too.

Enclosed my second bed (did the other last year) and used less wood and it still cost twice as much, oof. Planted both beds today. Looks like I will have a good strawberry yield this year.

when I picked up some Jorba rogue tools I had purchased a 7” hoe for myself. Love it.
