    Transplanted three flats of winter greens. Collards, kale, escarole, endive, radicchio, and arugula went into beds that we will cover. Collards for luck in the new year is a southern tradition.

    Brilliant. I was wondering what to do with the shiny bubblewrap bags. Thanks for the idea.

    I would love some of those peppers! Awesome idea.

    My cherry tree and peach tree are starting to get leaf buds. This is the earliest I have ever seen them do that.

    We had a big snow storm coming last week so we pulled the tarps off our two remaining raised beds and harvested the collards and kale we started in August 2020. Had a nice mess of collards last night.
    Heard that seed companies are beginning to get sold out so we are calling our seed order in today.

    Happy gardening Allan, good to see you know about priming the seeds before planting, most people aren't aware of that. And thanks Rodger for the heads up about stock getting low at the seed companies. Last year we had terrible luck getting what we ordered from Johnny's Selected Seeds co. The pandemic threw them off by months on some items.
    I'm planting Asian pear seeds today from last year's harvest. They have been sitting in the refrigerator nestled in damp paper towels in a baggie since September.

    My brother-in-law used to own greenhouses. He loved weather that caused people to have to plant multiple times and could always tell me when the marijuana plants were getting started.

    I think it was urban seeds I used last year, absolutely terrible.

    I have 4 Brown Turkey cuttings, been in the soil since last October, buds are starting to green up now. I have one outside year-round but it has never produced, usually dies back over winter, just nice to have since our shop is called Eden, lol. I grew one when I had a greenhouse that bore every year. Just too cold up here I guess.

    Is that where organic turkeys come from?
    No wonder that they are so expensive!

    Sorry Edward, couldn’t resist.

    They are getting big fast. If the morning temps warm up I’ll be able to plant them in a few weeks 👍🏻
