I hope you can get it fixed! I checked on my plants today and now I have chives and lavendar sprouting too, so I buttoned them up for the night. I also see some broccoli starting to develop small heads. There may be hope yet! Tomorrow night is supposed to be in the mid 30s so everything will get covered.

Looks like end of this week and beginning of next, we're going to be looking at temps in the 20s overnight. Cover up your plants and protect your outside water spigots. I'll put the frost blankets on after I water in thoroughly, and they'll be staying on for about 5-6 days...
We had a frost last night, with temps in the mid 30s. I removed the frost blankets from the gardens this morning and all the plants looked fine.Last edited by surviort_wwdnet; 12-19-2022, 07:17 PM.

Moved my grow bags into tiny home and had it at 62 degrees, covered the pineapple, citrus trees left uncovered, mulberry kept uncovered...peppers in vertical garden left to fend for themselves as an experiment, but got the 30+ peppers off plant. Left a few on plants as part of the experiment. Will look tomorrow as I am back to work covering for another provider today and thursday.Protecting the sheep from the wolves that want them, their family, their money and full control of our Country!

Uncovered the pineapples and they seemed to be doing okay. The experiment with leaving the peppers exposed in the vertical garden, seemed to be doing okay although a but tattered. They however have not dropped the peppers that were left on for the experiment.Protecting the sheep from the wolves that want them, their family, their money and full control of our Country!

LOL...My tomatoes had already gone belly up...Watered everything yesterday...I am surprised the pepper experiment seems to be showing they survived. I will fertilize this weekend and see what that brings..Protecting the sheep from the wolves that want them, their family, their money and full control of our Country!

we were supposed get some light rain yesterday...well it was so light it didn't reach the ground...guess I need to raise my plants up for the free watering next time...LOL
Pepper experiment...well the cold caused some leaves to curl and die on some plants, but plants are still alive. Watching for more fruit to start to see if any real damage occurred....Protecting the sheep from the wolves that want them, their family, their money and full control of our Country!

Got essentially nothing... a few sprinkles which likely helped some as it was overcast so that wetness stayed around a bit longer on the leaves...Finally have some peppers showing up on the indoor Aero Garden plants. I have been having curling of the leaves, which can be due to lack of nutrients or excess watering. Well, since I have been keeping up on the liquid fert., I believe it is the water the roots are sitting in. Peppers usually like it a bit on the dryer side, but this was an experiment. Finally at 130 days since planting from seed I got some fruit (normal time varies from variety of 60-90 days. It is now 145 days and fruit is continuing to grow. They have been blooming like crazy but not fruit up until about 2 weeks ago. These varieties will be planted from seed in the spring for sure as if all the flowers that I have seen we would have had hundreds of peppers. Instead I have about 10 on one plant, about 12 on another, 1 each on the other two. I will leave these in a bit longer, but unless they produce more, I will pull them and put in lettuce which grows like mad in the Aero Garden....Protecting the sheep from the wolves that want them, their family, their money and full control of our Country!

You did well with the Aero Garden peppers - good way to pick winners and losers!
I checked both gardens but nothing quite ready to harvest. Cabbage should be ready pretty soon - I have a couple small heads but I want to let them continue to grow. Onions, carrots, and parsnips are growing bigger and looking healthy!
I have a plan for moving the containers - I'll shovel the dirt out of one container into another container, move the empty container to the bag garden, fill the bottom 1/3-1/2 with solarized potting soil from the grow bags, then fill up the rest with the raised bed soil. The raised bed soil always compacts, but partially filling the containers with potting soil will hopefully prevent additional purchases of the container soil. I'll add some compost and organic fertilizer, and be ready to plant.
For now, I'm still cleaning up the garage one section at a time. So much unneeded "stuff"!๐ The guy who drives around every evening before the next morning's trash pickup will have lots to choose from!Last edited by surviort_wwdnet; 01-07-2023, 06:59 PM.

Here in Colorado, I'm well past garden time now what with altitude, could weather and 6 years of drought plus my 400k gallon DRY POND.
However, I can't get chickens to hatch.
I got 6 ancona hens (one just up and died) plus an ancona rooster.
They are all healthy and 6 months old. Lay good, an egg a day x5 and a very handsome loud rooster.
I also have 1 rhode island and 2 rock island hens that are 5 or 6 years old. I still get their brown eggs once or twice a week.
I keep about 3 weeks of eggs at 70degrees F on the counter and keep 4 at 97degrees F for two weeks and then rotate them.
Candling shows no chicks in the eggs so am I hurrying it up too fast? Maybe too early?
The way food is going, I want to increase my flock from in-house but no luck yet.
I do like the anconas. they're not as tamed as the rhode islands or the rock island lap sitters
The anconas are much more alert than the old girls and harder to make friends with but they're coming around.
So what am I overexpecting or not doing right with hatching?
I haven't hatched chicks since back when I had banties but those didn't seem so difficult.
Thanks in advance.
