38 here this morning. Put our tomato plants in 5 gallon bucket's yesterday, but brought them inside last night, I'm hesitant to start much else, but figure carrot seed's are pretty hardy, so plan on getting those in the dirt later today.

Some frost

Glad I waited as well, last 2 nights been very frosty

we planted tomatoes, zucchini, straight neck squash and okra this past weekend. Knowing it was going to get pretty cool last night, we watered everything pretty good yesterday late afternoon in hopes it would get some evaporation heating. It was 38* when I left the house but my commuter car had a pretty heavy frost on it. The wife checked before she left the house and said everything looked okay so far.

ya'll remember my hearty little peach tree with the extremely low chill hours? below is a picture from Sat. (3-19-2016) and it is covered with peaches, slightly larger than a quarter. Our other tree (high chill hours) has blooms and just putting on leaves.

Looks as if I dodged the bullet also.

A little late to the party.

Late to the party here also... I'd just first like to say I've been lurking here a while, y'all have some impressive gardens. I tried the whole gardening thing here(southern Collin county) and the soil here SUCKS, so I finally decided to try raised beds last year. The unbelievable rain in May set us back (then I screwed up overwatered once the rain stopped) and ended up a well below average harvest, you live and learn. I planted some cucumbers and squash last night and will get some maters and other stuff going soon though. Found a burrow a cottontail made by my onions and dug it up and only had fur and grass, no babies, so I decided I needed a scarecrow, Thank you Chickenman! Hopefully this year will work out a little better.

Looks good y'all

The low of 30 degrees burnt my potatoes really bad, looks like 1/2 of them may not make it. Oh well, time to put in the tomatoes, peppers and other goodies.

Happened to me last year, but I though I lost them all, most came back up though, just took half the summer to get decent sized.

I'm chomping at the bit to plant now that my dirt is dry enough to till. This morning it was 30 degrees and frosty when we loaded up to go to the lake.

Got my garden in 3 weeks ago, tomatoes are just starting to set fruit. Hope I can keep the critters off them.

Grass has taken over my garden for many years. I cant keep it out. Every spring I think of new ways to kill it off before I plant. I've tried it all from mulch to newspaper to felt to straw to hay to roundup to 10% vinegar to 20% vinegar. Leaves this time. A lot of leaves. I did scalp and spray (no cover though) before adding leaves.

Hoping for some relief.

Saturday I tilled all of it then added 16 bags of miracle grow garden soil, then tilled it all again. This morning we formed the rows, covered with fabric and planted 18 Celebrities, 6 Big Boys, 10 Green Bell Peppers, 6 Red Bell Peppers, 4 Banana Peppers, 8 Jalapeño Peppers and 6 pickling cucumbers. The onions have been growing all winter.

Looks great CC.

Still feeling the tiller this morning. That thing kicked my azz but I got it all tilled up better than I ever have before.

So, I guess that means you wont come till my hunerd x fitty spot?

Yes, that is exactly what that means.

I'll cage it tomorrow

looks great P

CC what are the stakes, in the second row from the left towards the back, used for?

You are a big noticer. You made me go back and look. It's the third or middle row.
