has been out of the greenhouse since early April, first one was ripe today. 3 year old tree in a ten gallon pot.

florea fig ripening, unknown variety ("white Dutch" the roadside seller called them) gooseberries, nectarine graft taking off. 60F soil in the raised bed and okra is germinating!

my client and i have both got the goblin bug love and this was the best day at work

I'm propagating a bunch of fig, grape, lilac, gooseberry, currant, basils, black cap raspberry, honeysuckle (native and non native), mock orange, bridal veil, prairie sage (local native variety), Russian sage, lavender, mulberry, and some cooking herbs.

i might do a sale later in summer with these and with fall crop starts like lettuces, brassicas, and such. I'll try to do it when it's time to plant in the baby trees and the starts are big enough to take the cold fall weather.

1. what would you like to see or be interested in getting a hold of throughout summer into fall?

2. what are you always looking for and not finding?

3. what would you like to pick up as starts?

4. what perennials can you never find for fall plantings?

it'll be affordable. we are all broke! I'm just covering costs. (yes I've got a nursery/plant sales license for this year and next, i got it together finally)

there might be a few nights in the low 40F range but we're pretty much past all hard frost here, so out they go. i gave the soil a little high N fertilizer, and watered them in.

some are in a mound bed and others in raised bed, and I've scattered a few throughout other spots in the garden for looks mainly.

this one is a white mammoth. i think i have 6 types planted in this year, but would have to check my notes to be sure.

every year i kill them.

I've tried indoors, outdoors, protected outdoors. they die mid winter no matter what i do. i know they CAN grow here and people even keep rosemary as a houseplant kind of.

this year a friend sent me 4 little rooted babies in 4 inch pots. HELP ME NOT KILL THEM THIS TIME. one already looks ragged after only a few days in my place.

HELP.

I AM SO SICK OF HARDENING OFF.

I'm planting everything i think i can get away with, some things are sun burnt, it's awful.

only peppers and cucumbers are exempt from my fury.
