Getting any planting done?

Anyone getting any planting done?

I got out: Kale, collards, mustard and turnip greens. Peas, potatoes, broccoli, carrots.

Be doing onions after this batch of rain gets through and it dries up some.

Not yet. Picked up a few tomato plants this morning.

I love radishes.

Use to carry my own salt shaker and after saving some tomato's from green bugs and checking on the growth of radishes by pulling a few or more, I'd relax on a hillside with the sun shining down, fill my belly button with salt and proceed to munch on tomato and radish.

Save some for me fellows.

not yet been too wet. was hoping to get out cool season stuff last month but didnt get around to it. might sow some lettuce, onions, radishes and maybe a late crop of potatoes. my oat and winter pea cover crop didnt winter kill so im waiting on it to dough stage before crimping and planting warm season crops into it.

My green house is ready. My outside garden has been tilled several times now. Just waiting to make sure winter is done

WTM, maybe you mentioned it last fall when we were talking cover crops, but how do you intend to crimp? Right now I'm thinking I will just drag a log back and forth over it. The deer ate almost all of the turnip bulbs out of mine over the winter. Glad I put down wheat at the same time.

The covers did a great job of suppressing the winter weeds. The thin spots are covered in henbit and chickweed.

I just found my first blooms on the crimson clover. It won't be long now.

looks good mick. my oats are about waist high. im gonna make a simple crimper out of a 3 ft 2x4 and attach to the bottom a piece of 1/2" angle iron(edge facing down). then drill 2 holes on each side and attach a rope loop. then ill use it like those idiots that do those crop circle gags. i figure ill step on it then move it every 8 inches. shouldnt take too long and should get a good enough crip to kill it.

Yours are rocking. My wheat is maybe 12"-15" tall right now. Next week should give them another good boost too. I just wish I had more turnips left.

they may have rotted. for my type of soil i use the mulch method and sometimes the container method and always cut the seed pieces a couple of days ahead of planting them. they may spring back after the water drains but its getting late in the year to make a crop.

I did cut the seed pieces a couple of days before planting they were scaled over good at the cuts. I tried to make sure I had at least 2 eyes on each piece and planted eyes up. We will see next few days here should dry it out.
