Grow light is telescopic?  Curious if the fertilizer shows the 0-0-0 (nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus) breakdown?

[hughver]

Yes, the grow light is telescopic, you start with it low and raise it as the plants grow. The display only shows when to add plant food.

[Bentley]

Is there anything on the plant food container?

[hughver]

A picture is worth a thousand words.

[Bentley]

Thanks.  Gives me an idea how to proceed with fertilizing mid summer!

Bentley, have you seen your forecast for this weekend? 32 for a low Sunday morning!

Bentley, have you seen your forecast for this weekend? 32 for a low Sunday morning!   

Yeah, that's why the tomatoes and peppers are staying in the house rigght now and I am not even thinking of putting seeds in the ground until next week.

[Bentley]

Weather.com shows over night of 34° on Friday and 36° on Saturday here in Stevensburg.  Hard to believe.  I will assume we will not be at those lows for more then a couple hours.  The basil is dead, everything else seemed to have weathered the cold from 3 weeks ago, so hoping we dodge another bullet.  I am done with blankets and cover!

It's a mild 108° here in the valley of the sun.

My Brother and Sister in law live in Phoenix, eighty first ave. and bordering the 303, Peoria Az. They said it is warm.

2nd week of May and a fire during the day! And 4 days before the air conditioner on!

Probably has something to do with lack of pollution in the air that used to block the Arctic air from traveling further south.

The rule of thumb in this part of Virginia is that you wait until after Mother's Day to plant tomatoes and peppers.  We had a freeze last night.  Our vineyard neighbors had the fans going from midnight on.  We are to have some more cold nights and very windy days until Thurs, so will plant my tomatoes and peppers on May 14 along with all other seeds. Late garden this year.

Big day has finally arrived -- we planted seeds!  The beds were all prepared.  The 3 big ones have a heavy layer of the shredded tree bark and some straw.  They got planted with watermelon, cantaloup and acorn squash.  Three middle beds have beets, then middle will get tomato and pepper plants tomorrow when last cold night is truly done, the last bed has carrots and a couple of zucchini.  In the front beds, only planted the two cucumbers which will grow up the trellises.  They have a heavy straw mulch at present.  The far right bed is still empty, Bent will plant his jalapenos in there in a couple of weeks. Back trellis of blackberries are blooming nicely.

next dry day I'll get a few pictures up.  Garden is coming along nicely  (although frustrating I didn't get to purchase some of the fun items from the farmers market like chocolate cherry tomatoes).  Warm spring here in the Pacific Northwest, but a wet spell is happening now.
