You've probably noticed there are a lot of North Americans on this forum, so we have a wiiiiiiide variation of climates. So, those of us in the South have our strawberries in, but those poor folks in NY or Canada...wellll...:rolleyes: :lol: I'm a huge dog lover! Murphy is SO cute! :love

The W/M here have strawberries in smaller pots for $2, so I got some of those...with blossoms already! :) Also $3.33 for single 'mater plants...HOWEVER...they were selling ...ummm..."rejects" for $1.67 (4 packs with double plants in 1 section & none in the 4th, etc) so I scooped some up...

Welcome! :frow

I think I said "Welcome!" & :frow over on SSF, & will say it here, too! :D (BTW, love your avatar - now I know what "oesdog" means!)

I picked some arugula yesterday - my first pickins of the season! :celebrate (Well, not counting my bunching onions, but they grew all winter. :rolleyes:)

Yup. Just like everything else at the supermarket - they try to hide inflation by decreasing the size of the package. :tongue

I had to break down & buy some red leaf lettuce from Walley World, as I couldn't find seeds anywhere around here. $1.65 for a 4-pack. I might have to buy 'maters & peppers, too...my seeds failed miserably! :(

Stand up & say, "Hi, my name is feather & I'm a seedaholic." ;)

:frow Welcome! No idea what brugs are, but they sure have interesting names...;)

Nice presentation! Looks yummy, hope I get some 'berries this year! :fl

I covered the taters real well last night...but I haven't gotten the energy to go out & uncover everything yet this morning. :fl

At least we don't have snow - I saw over the weekend my old stomping grounds in VT had a new foot of the white stuff!!! :plbb

AmyRey, you are reading my mind ;)...I have 4 tater plants up, & noticed some have dark brown (kinda scorched-looking) leaves, & wondered if the frost got 'em...their container is right next to the lettuce bed, so they got partially covered by a sheet the last time it got cold...:/

Wow, I'm sorry you had such poor results after all that hard work. :( My plan also was to start everything from seed this year, either directly or starting inside with peat pots & seed starter. Of those in the pots, the cukes did the best. The broc came up but are spindly. The 'maters & peppers...

TOOO funny!!! :gig She looks similar to my Golden Comets, which are sex-linked, so I was wondering about that. :)

Wow, that's tough!! :( I'm not putting mine out til next week...like you said, we have a frost advisory for tomorrow morning, so I'm paranoid! (When I lived in VT, I planted my 'maters Memorial Day weekend (so, around May 25-ish)...naturally there was frost on June 1st! Killed them all & I had...

FWIW, AmyRey, I understand what you're asking (even if I can't answer!!)...I have read about sooooo many different ways to grow taters that I am thoroughly confused. :barnie So, I am doing one patch in a container covered with straw, & one in a raised bed that I will hill with compost...& see...

Heeheehee! :D What breed of chicken, jojo?

Welcome! :frow I can't really respond to your question, as this is my first year for s/b myself, so... :pop! ;)

:pop BIL/SIL have bought trees from Big Lots before that did really well, but like you, they were ornamental, not fruit. I bought my pear tree at 1/2 price from Home Depot (so, like $15, I think) because it was the end of the season...but, depending on where you are, you may not want to wait...
