Northwest Fishing Reports

I planted Snow and snap peas on Presidents weekend. Ive rototilled the soil in my garden boxes and laying my seed down. Anyone else anxious for this years gardening? Hopefully radishes this weekend.

Yes sir!!! Just waiting for a little bit more of a dry spell to get the tiller going.

Dry spell indeed! It's been snowing since I woke up this morning!

Yes it does tend to hang on a little longer at your altitude.

I'm just thinking about getting my tomatoes planted under lights on a hot pad.

I've got to get on that too. Also probably going to start thinking about onions soon also.

Yeah....... Tomato plants under the lights and on a hot pad....... Right......

Nothing better then garden fresh veggies! Corn, peas, cucumbers and tomatoes are on my list this year.

The wife wants squash this year. As the deer love squash also, I need to put in a 7' high fence!!! Right after the ground thaws. Maybe late April or May.

A visit to my son's apartment yesterday reviled that his pre-spring dwarf cherry tomatoes are about two weeks away from his first harvest. The tomatoes are about dime sized right now.

It is not hard to see I'm pretty well out classed here! Those are some impressive plants! Although, my garden includes cherries,peaches,nectarines,apricots & plums. Multiple varieties of each. I've got about half of them pruned & will be pruning on the rest today.

This weekend I picked up two loads of manure compost and spread it out,then rototilled it in. I planted a second row of snow peas.I tied my strings for the snow peas to trellis on. In a couple weeks I'll put in Beets,turnips,and carrots. Then I'll take a fishing break.

Oh man, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. First I use this site to fish vicariously through others reports when I can't get out. Now I'm doing it for gardening also!!
As I was pruning my Donut/Saturn Peaches yesterday I was salivating at the thought of the juice dripping off my chin.

I think were all pretty much the same. I have a Black Friar Plum Tree. When you bite into a plum dont be wearing clean clothes. I too think of those juicy plums. Now Im salivating . The past two years Ive grown a abundance of cukes so Ive been making Bread and Butter pickles along with good ole fashioned dill pickles.Theres nothing compared to fresh homegrown flavors and desired ripening of fruits and veggies.

I dug the last of my German Butter balls & planted the first bed of Walla Walla Sweets on Saturday!

Man, I am envious of all of you that can start gardening already. My garden is way to muddy to even walk through. I have had all my seeds for a couple of months. I love ordering seeds in the dead of winter. Always gives me something to look forward to.

The first row of my snow peas and are germinating nicely. Im seeing my first green tops comming from the ground. I put in my second rows yesterday..I locked my door yesterday w/o grabbing my keys. Oooops... I had 2 good hours to work.

Just finished getting 1/2 of my onions in.

Time to get my 22 ready. This morning my neighbor asked me why am I digging up my tulip bulbs. I told him I wasnt. I went to look and some critter dug up my bulbs with stems on them. Grrrrr... Most were partially eaten. Just before the buds were popping up. Darned Mother Nature.She can be so wicked at times.

Squirrels and Opossums like to eat 'em, take your pick. I guard my lilies very closely........
