Just wondering what you all have on order, or plans to buy when you
hit
the ground running after the last frost. 
I've got.. Oh gosh.. Alot of stuff ordered and coming in. Just got
4
grape vines and 5 blueberry bushes in today. I've got some leaf
mold
piled up from the fall leaves that I'm going to mulch them with
when
I
get them in the ground this weekend.
Bunch of other stuff coming.. Some shrubs, pile of flowers, etc..
So how about you all.. Ready for that last frost?
I've got some seeds I have to get started. But with more snow
tonight,
I'm
having hard time getting excited about spring. Feel like I'm trapped
in
endless winter.

It's winter time Cheryl. It's winter time. Sorry, but it's true.
When can you normally get into the garden? Six to eight weeks is good
lead time for transplants.
I know - and some years I might be able to start clean up now. With 10
more
inches headed my way, it could be May.

When is the ground warm enough for tomatoes? Here in my hilly, coastal,
northern California habitat, it is usually mid-May, and June before the
ground gets to 70F and the vines really start to push.
Ever try those "wall of water" mini habitats?
I did hoping to get a week or two head start. Slugs loved them as a
nice warm place with food nearby.

Too expensive for me. On the up side though, "Sluggo" has cleared my
yard of 99.9% of the snails and slugs that I have been fighting, low
these many years. With the snails at bay, I'm doing my soil modification
with clear plastic. But May ain't here yet and who knows what surprises
it may hold.
I've been using "escargo" which is similar to "Sluggo". I've tied for
years to find Iron Phosphate as it is the active ingredient. Seems
escargo is 1% Iron Phosphate 99% inert ingredients. This stuff is
expensive. So my plan was to blend up 99% bread and 1% Iron Phosphate.
I can't find it!! One ounce would do my life time

Goggle all you want and you find out about coatings for metal.
