I start all my seedlings in the pots they will grow in. Many plants do not like their roots disturbed. I use 2 sizes of peat pots: 3" and 4".
I lost all fruit last year too, except elderberries. I've not seen my scillas yet. My lungwort got its first flowers a couple days ago. Your unknown looks like a sedum. How cool you got cranberries!
I know from my failed attempt to establish asparagus that you need a pretty deep well prepared trench for it. (It failed because this was once a major asparagus area, and the asparagus beetles ate through the row cover to get to it.)
Please send your strapping young man here! I could sure use him!
lol! I'm sure you could use an army of strapping young men!
Ah! So I didn't screw up my seedlings yet? They look pretty good. I have to snip off the extra seedlings in most of the pots today. That always pains me, but must be done.
Good to know about the asparagus, thanks. I'll get those roots out and fill in with the soil I'm buying. I put some in willy nilly when I first moved here, and it seems to be doing OK, but it's in a bad place, so I'll get to eat any of that that comes up this year. Won't be but two servings, at most.
I am excited about the cranberries. It's a very beautiful plant ground cover plant, even if I don't get many berries.
