What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

[punkin]

Today I planted (or started) 28 strawberries from runners. I have about 20 others that are rooting and about 40 already in 4" pots.

An easy way to do it is to half bury the full cups in the soil under the runner and wait until it roots. Then just cut from the "mother" plant and lift. No root disturbance.

I ordered the seeds from Ed Humes seeds. I've never done them before but I heard they are delicious. They are small round and yellow.

This is my first year growing the Lemon cukes and they are a big hit...flavor is lightly citrus-y, not quite the refreshing cool from a typical cuke, but everyone seems to really like them. I only bought one start at a local nursery and it is very prolific!
