We have ice on the ground, glad I waited as well. Still leary... I only waited because I was letting my plants adjust to the nightly temperatures since most were grown in a greenhouse...I've been setting them out on the screened-in porch so they won't go into shock...I'm not worried about anymore freezing weather, mine are going out this week...

Got down to 32 early this morning and it's been snowing (and melting) all day . I'm not worried about the greens or onions but I sure hope my peaches and plums make it.

For those of you in the North Texas area, I'd definitely cover my plants tonight, just in case it gets back down to freezing up there...

Picked up 6 Better Boys & 6 Husky Cherry last Wed. Into 1 gal. pots with the rest. That brings the total to 21 plants. Is that too many for a 20'x12' piece of dirt? Roughly 35F last nite and tonite as well. Mesquites have just begun to put on leaves, think we're in the clear around here. Still have to get rid of winter garden, rained 1.5" last week.

Uncovered everything this morning before work. Now lets hope this cold is over with I did that as well. Surprised I got up early enough I keep seeing conflicting weather reports in the D/FW area. Last night the weather channel said it was going to freeze again tonight and tomorrow. Now, weather.com is saying it'll be in the high 40s/low 50s.

Yep, mesquites have finally budded here, should have some leaves shortly.
Ya'll up north probably have to play it a little safe for another couple of weeks and then Spring (the real thing, not the calendar one) should have worked its way up to ya.

I'm going to go get started planting my over 150 pepper and tomato plants...Yeah, over 150, the final count has NOT been done (primarily because I haven't finished searching for some specific plants)...

Sorry for you fellers that had seedlings out in this weather. We got a little snow on the ground, but all my seedlings are still safe in the seedlingararium. There have been a few additions and today we're going to start some banana peppers and add another couple of cubanelles (Mrs Chad makes some awesome rellenos!). We've also started a couple of zucchini plants. Mrs Chad uses it in fried rice so that'll be nice. I'm proud of all my kids, but my son (a very industrious 10 yr old) is planning a garden at his mom's house. This weekend we got a box of peat pots and the seeds that he didn't already have stashed back. He's going to do cayenne, sweet banana pepper, jelly bean tomato, strawberry (we'll have to buy the seedlings), and he's considering cubanelle and serrano. He's also gonna make his mom a few flower beds with Mrs Chad's flower seed stash. He's a chip off the old block for sure! Lucky for him he got his looks from his mom! I haven't been able to find the Cubanelle peppers anywhere... I have Cayenne, California wonder (bell pepper), Tam Jalapeno, Jalapeno, Hot Banana, Sweet Banana, and Serrano, but no Cubanelle We've got cubanelle seeds. How many do ya want and I'll mail them to ya if you'll pm me an address to send to.

I always have kept track and dated anything I have planted. It doesn't look that detailed but it is. I have 3 6x12' beds ready for action. Onions, potatoes, and garlic are in the ground. My garden in Feb.

How many do ya want and I'll mail them to ya if you'll pm me an address to send to. I appreciate the offer...My mom has a phone customer that has a feed store and they are supposed to go Wednesday to their suppliers and see if they can get me some Cubanelle and Gypsy peppers...If they can't, I'll take you up on the offer... There seems to be some fraudulent sales going on with those seeds you're looking for. I'd try and buy them from one of the established companies (I've tried to find them through Google) when they become available...Otherwise you'll end up with the habanero plants...

Hopefully my garden will try out enough so I can till this week. If not I will be going to Home Depot and buying a lot of soil. So I can make my own mounds and get them going.
My jalapenos and a few of the mater plants are getting huge already. The okra and bannana peppers aren't too far behind them. I need to get them in the ground soon.
