Glad you are feeling better, Vera - the flu can be pretty awful!

In a few days there'll be enough pole beans to pick: Seychelles from Johnny's.

There were problems with a mosaic virus in the bed, so I tried digging up the soil and screening it, for aeration, before putting it back. It's still there, but the treatment plus a more-resistant variety have rendered it manageable.

The lettuce seedlings look good. Didn't lose any to transplanting shock this time.

The mature lettuce gets harvested a few leaves at a time, when needed. I try to time the plantings so we'll always have fresh lettuce without storing it in the fridge.

I finally got most of my seeds started yesterday, I meant to almost a month ago at this point but I've just got so much other stuff on my plate it's been hard to find time or energy lately.

List of what I'm growing so far (likely will pick up a few plants from a garden store in the spring): Super sugar snap peas, Dill, Isis candy cherry tomato, Roma tomato, Super Beefsteak tomato, Pantano Romanesco tomato, Garden Sweet Burpless cucumber, Picklebush cucumber, Japanese Giant Red mustard greens, Janosik watermelon, Tabasco peppers, Walla Walla and Red Burgundy onions, Cilantro (I hate the taste but hear beneficial insects love it), Greek Oregano, Genovese Basil, and Italian Flat Leaf parsley, Alyssum, Marigolds, Cosmos.

Several new varieties for me but largely stuff I've grown before. Watermelon is mostly new to me, I never had a plant survive to fruiting stage (though I haven't tried much because of the large area required). Mustard greens are totally new to me.

Winter crops are coming to an end. Ate the last of the broccoli, holding last two heads of cabbage for St. Patrick's Day, Collards are bolting, as are mustard, turnips and rutabagas. Carrots may last for another couple weeks. Onions are looking good for late May harvest. English peas are up and running for early April harvest. Spring spinach is up, Irish potatoes planted new brassica and lettuce seedling emerging. Tomato , pepper and Eggplant seed planted.

The onions look great, Dillard! Surprisingly (to me, anyway), the fall-planted onions in my hoop house aren't too far behind yours; last year they were ready to harvest in early July and I'm hoping they will repeat the success this year .

I may not have any success this year thanks to mice. Last night they dug up and ate all my seed. Now I'm going to spend the day replanting and plotting mouse murder. This deed will not go unpunished.

I've lost entire flats of pepper seedlings to a mouse (probably several mice) in the basement. A humidity dome with a rock on top of it can help keep them out until you can snap their varmint butts in a trap.

No mice around here! Three cats in the house, one living in the greenhouse and seven or eight on the back porch make sure no rodent lives to trouble me. OTOH, the damn cats think all cultivated ground is a litter box.
I'm just working on a front fence for the warm tent to keep the greenhouse cat out before I start any seedlings in there.

Yeah, that's not the kind of seedling fertilizer you want!

The LED lights that Frank and Dave like are on sale, $15 off coupon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082ZKJZP1/

@Dave, do you use 1 or 2 of these 4 ft fixtures over four 1020 flats? Some of the images seem to show 2 fixtures over a 4 ft shelf, wanted to check... thanks!

critterologist said: do you use 1 or 2 of these 4 ft fixtures over four 1020 flats?

Definitely a minimum of two. Sometimes 3. But I don't use these very much anymore. I now use these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VJ4X2QL/

One of them fully covers a 4 foot by 4 foot grow tent. Can't say enough good things about this light.

Thanks! That lets me know how to set them up. I'm looking at those LED panels also... my seedling light shelves aren't set up right to take advantage of something like that, but I think one of them might be the answer to overwintering some plumeria etc. "in the green" in the basement next year. For light shelves, even if I put 3 lights over a 2x4' shelf with the tube-style units, six of those are less expensive than the LED panel with 4x4' coverage.

I use the cheap pink ones in the nursery tent. A 4' long two-strip unit is enough to light two nursery flats of seedlings. This year, I'm starting them in 3" pots to save one transplanting. Got some heating pads in there, as well, though I haven't had to turn them on these last few spring-like days.
Got all the peppers and eggplants in; fixed a plastic fence across the front and have a plastic flap to keep the heat in, if necessary.
I'll start tomatoes next week, probably. Last year, they were too big too soon and I ran out of suitable space before it was warm enough to plant them into the bins.

I know this is the case with the light panel Dave is using now, but with the Barina LED tube lights, do I want them to be 10-12" (or more) above the tops of the seedlings? not right above the leaves as with my current fluorescent tubes?

I may need to redo the spacing on my light shelves...

I always hang the light fixtures on adjustable chains, so I can start them off +/- 8" above the flats and keep raising them as the plants grow. In the nursery tent, they have about 2' of head-room to start with; by the time they're too big to fit under the lights, there is usually enough sunlight.

Vera, thanks! I've used the shop lights (cool fluorescents) for so long... If I'd hung my new LED's the same way (just above the plants), I'd have fried them!

Beautiful day here. I took my bag of mostly small but vigorously sprouting potatoes leftover from last year, and planted them all. Why not? It's either plant something, mulch the area, or have weeds. The ground looks good and rich. Even if the small potaoes make only one nice one each, that is a gain.

Oh, also cut a batch of greens. Tatsoi, tyfon were bolting, with tiny broccoli like bud clusters, but the stems totally tender and juicy and mild. Tyfon aka Holland greens, a kind of mustard maybe. Got to be loaded with vitamins, an hour from garden to our stomachs.

Eggplant sprouts and loops in the garden, asparagus crowns arrived yesterday from Jungs, they're planted now, other sprouts are up there, but I have some spaces to prep, cuke seeds in the ground and protected both in ground and from above...I already have grasshoppers an inch long?????garlic chives thinned and replanted in new dirt, more to accomplish tomorro, but the 2 yr old great grandson needed to drive the mower and give his dad a short breather..
