Ha! Well, I figure it should dry up around the first of July and stay that way for the rest of the summer. Damn weather.
My seedlings are sitting outside in the sunshine right now. It is pretty cool, especially with the wind. So I blocked off the sides of the wagon with visqueen and left the top open. My tomatoes are already three inches tall, and I just started them the last week of January.

Got my seed potatoes and soil amendments today. Just waiting on the ground to dry now.
Have you noticed a big difference once you started doing amendments? I usually just toss mulched up leaves and compost on the tops of my beds every year.

I did for the first time last year. I had two plants and there were way more than my wife and I cared to eat. Only planting one this year.

Same.
Although I'm planting 2 again this year.
We ate the heck out of them.

I have an abundance of cucumber plants going. Can these be planted in 5 gallon containers and drape over the container to the ground or not?
Suggestions?

A lot of people do this but there are issues with the plants on the ground. They become much more susceptible to snails and slugs as well as a variety of ground pests. I have seen videos of people lining hanging basket rims with pool noodles and letting the vines trail from a height. I am thinking of trying that this season.

convertedtiger - thanks for reply. My ignorance on this subject tells me they normally grow on the ground in a garden. Are the shortcomings you mentioned just the same growing them in ground?
Is there an issue hanging them higher when they bear heavy fruit?

I used some 2" x 4" wire fencing and cut an 8' piece. Rolled it up like a cigar and stuffed it into the pot. Then used a couple of stakes to shore it up. I have used this for the past 4 or 5 years.

I have some tomato seedlings with about 1” long true leaves. I have to go out of town from 12p tomorrow until Sunday evening. They’re in 4” pots in trays.
Should I just fill the tray and hope for the best? The light is on a 16 hour timer.

If they're in little pots like that they're fine. You're much more likely to over water them than for them to dry out.

That was going to be my next question
I'll plant one this year. Posted on 2/14/24 at 5:26 pm to ChenierauTigre

You're referring to cucumbers, right? Grow them vertically? Upward?

Yes. Vertically.
