Mary we planted kale,turnips,broccoli and other veggys,but realized we don't have any cabbage seeds to start. Finally got raised bed planted with fall crops a couple days ago.Had to fence it to keep the two dogs out,
Our neglected flower beds, Need lots of weeding. The pots in front are Pineapples in need of bigger pots..
I haven't yet but will try these. Two of the Soya Soy beans came up in the peat pellets so far. We freeze our seeds some are 10 yr old. Mammoth Sunflowers came up nice in peat pellets. I'll have to keep them in pots till spring and inside once it gets cold. Here in N.Fl. we can get down to below zero, not often,; last time low was 5 F about 10 yr ago.
I have some sweet Potatoe vines growing in bedroom window. Ready to transplant in spring. Most of the plant is facing the window,
My sun flower seeds are getting a little leggy. I thought I'd keep them in the house till spring but maybe not a good idea to plant so early.
I have slowly gotten rid of most of my winter over plants in the house. I end up with everything from white flies to spider mites to scale. Kind of sad. I raised frangipani from seeds and kept them since moving to this house. 20 years Angel's trumpets for 35 years. All have new homes. Husband has a weeping fig he rescued from a neighbor's garbage 15 years ago. One branch grew through the window screen. Instead of trimming the branch, he cut the screen. But that tree doesn't seem to be bothered by pests. Good thing the room has vaulted ceilings.
I do have the equipment but not the energy to set i9t up or the want to. My grow lights haven't been used in decades. At least I found out the seeds will still germinate. Forecast calls for a hard winter this year so greenhouse would cost too much to heat. Of course, we could just cover half of it.
In your location, I would just cover it and grow cold-hardy stuff in there, like salad crops, broccoli, and maybe cabbage if you have the room. Wait until spring to grow the warm season stuff, as it will still give you a jump on your season.
Don, I agree, and we started fall veggies in the raised bed last week, Collards, kale, mustard greens, broccoli, lettuce.
Don, the seeds have sprouted and coming up good. Turnip, lettuce, mustard, collard broccoli all doing good so far. Sunflower seedlings gave up and laid down. I have to transplant my banana trees soon. I sure don't feel like dealing with them though.
Foxy decided she didn't like my Rosemarry plants I'd just transplanted so she tore the pots and plants all to hell, then chewed up the lawn mower cover. Then Leo decided to tear the piping off the Heat & air pump! Guess the first cold night here was too much for the wild destroyers! We saved one of the plants but only found what's left of the pot of the other one.
Good thing we fenced off the fall planted raised bed, or the little pycho's would have done a number on that too. We had the AC,Heat unit fenced and one of them chewed thru the cattle fencing, wonder the mutt didn't bleed to death, but I don't see a scratch on either of them. Not sure which one did the AC-hwat because both took turns in both yards last night, this morning. We keep them separated one in back the other in front, since Leo decided he wanted to hurt his sibling little Road Runner. She runs over him like a bullet train, He flipped over 3 times. Pots were on the ground in GH?
