Garden Update - Everything Planted and Positioned

Finished all planting and positioned the buckets in their locations.  The frame above the buckets in the picture below is for the string trellis.  I'll take some photos after I start stringing the veggies.  Today, the weather is mid-70's and absolutely beautiful.  It had been rainy and now it's not so time to spray the fruit trees.  Only the peaches produced blossoms and today was the first spray after petal fall.  Research tells me to spray after the bees and other insects did their pollination magic and set the fruit to the flowers.  Now, hopefully, it'll be pest control till production and I'm hoping production will be better than two years ago.

Now, about the pictures.  I can't make up my mind if it looks too white trash or not.  I'm finding I want to "dress it up" somehow.  After the plants are strong and climbing, I've got some bucket covers so I'll give it at least until then.  Actually, their not for the purpose of covering the buckets, but to maintain moisture.  Hopefully, they'll provide a second purpose of making my garden more presentable.  LOL.  For now, I have to water top down till roots deepen.

Garden Update - Planting Buckets

It's been unseasonably warm and my seedlings are too big so I decided to go ahead and transplant into the buckets.  Also, instead of starting squash, melons, etc, indoors, I planted directly into the buckets today as well.  The research I read said temps need to be above 50 degrees or so at night to transplant.  Well, for the next 10 days, according to my weather app on my iPhone, the temps are only going to dip below 50 slightly 2 nights.  The highs are in the upper 70's to low 80's.  Unless I'm forgetting, it feels like late April vs. March to me.  Maybe good, maybe bad.  We'll see how things turn out.  At least with the buckets, I can bring them into the garage if it gets too cold.  Nothing exciting to show a photo of.

Seedling Update

This pic taken yesterday.  Prior to planing, you have to "harden" the seedlings off.  Maybe they're called transplants now??  Anyway, I'm having fun doing this while the countdown continues.
