Saturday got 0.83 inches of rain with some pea size hail so a few plants had their leaves damaged but nothing major. Getting the potted plants in slow but sure. We are in the low 80's now and warmer Tuesday. I give the new transplants a nice drink of fish fertilizer in the hole before putting them i...

Working the garden like crazy now that the weather has calmed down a good bit. We've been getting rain but not the severe flooding other areas of CO are getting. Still way behind in getting beds ready as the rain has made them too wet to work fast so it is a slow go. I had to re-pot all the seedling...

Weather is finally starting to look like spring so planting can begin. Seedlings are really getting too big for pots and have replanted in pots once already so time to get them all out. We are to have severe storms again today with hail and maybe tornados so I think waiting until Friday and into the...

Looking at the fruit trees it appears they got freeze damage as the leaves are hanging down and are dark so they got froze over night. No fruit for me this year. I heard on the news that the orchards on the west slope Grand Valley area got damaged as well so CO fruit will be scarce this year. I have...

As you most likely heard or saw on TV, we had the mother of May storms come in Mothers Day and into today. Started cold with rain changing to snow and 8-inches that stayed over night of the wet heavy stuff. I was out a couple hours ago as the storm started to let up to clean the cars and deck off an...

The only reason I am not into it is the cats. I am sure I'd be 'fishing' them out all the time even if I kept it covered. :D

Round and blue and along power lines seems to indicate a corona discharge from something but you state no storms in the area. I have seen Saint Elmos Fire many times and it can be different colors and blue is one. If it was windy there may have been enough of a static build up to cause it. Any storm...

I just got in from brushing snow off the solar panels and checking on the tomatoes. They seem OK and we are getting filtered sun through clouds although the plastic is opaque so full sun won't be harsh. It felt warm inside when I opened up the top to let the melted water fall down in so I think they...

The tomato cages were wrapped in heavy plastic with water bottles inside so may be OK as I had a feeling last evening so really tightened them for air leaks with lots of clothes pins. I have plenty of starter pots going in the house and greenhouse so they will be OK. It's up to 40 now and the snow i...

It's been fairly nice here so got a good start on the garden and moved some tomato plants out of the house to the garden with the cages over them and water bottles inside then wrapped with plastic. It's been 60's and 70's lately and 50's at night so nice May weather until Wednesday night into Thursd...

Already have tomatoes growing in the window boxes, they will most likely be the indoor ones for late winter picking; all cherry tomatoes. Greenhouse has the usual cool weather stuff growing and with increasing day length I'm getting more out of the pots. Lots of heirloom seed here saved from plants ...

Peppers are at the same stage here in the house window boxes. Tomatoes seedlings are up so soon transplant to bigger containers. Greenhouse is doing real good with the cool weather crops. I finally ran a long extension cord, about 300 feet, out to it and a small utility heater in there on low is kee...
