Weekly update on the Mortgage Lifters. They loaded with flowers and have a few nice size tomatoes already. They look like they almost grew a foot in the past week. By next week they should be up to the windows. I think this variety is definately a keeper. Best thing is, since they heirlooms, I can save the seeds for next year. No more buying seeds.

So last night I was checking the local weather report and seen that they are calling for 8-10 inches of snow in the northern lower pannincilac with highs in the 30's for Saturday.. I was like FUCK ME! So I typed in my zip code and the report changed to rain and 50-60° temps .. so now I'm confused.. both forecasts for Saturday are on the same news/weather channel.. screwed up when the weather forecast gives you two completely different predictions for the same day on the same news/weather channel..lol.. Michigan weather will cause a man to pull out his hair..

It's almost 90 degrees outside where I'm at. I'm sitting inside with an Ice cold Brew and the AC running.

Right now it's 78°. And cloudy and windy as hell.. this last week it's been in the 70's and 80's and sunny. So you get way I was thrown for loop when I seen that forecast last night..lol . My boys birthday party is Saturday, we were planning on doing stuff outside if the weather permitted.. if the first forecast is correct I'll be snowblowing and shoveling again.. I don't want to.. (sad face)

everything is responding to the warm weather that finally arrived. the tomato hempies seem to be working well.IMG_20180509_154627.jpg
the pepper patch is starting to look a little better, too, my reapers are still kind of small, thinking about starting some more, but i'll give these another week, see if the warmer nights help them get going.
IMG_20180509_154634.jpg think this is a tequila sunrise pepper..never grown them, supposed to be sweet, with a touch of citrus flavor IMG_20180509_154526.jpg
green peppers are starting to produce IMG_20180509_154546.jpg
cucumbers took the weather hard, i think these two will be alright, the one that's dead was the biggest one :-( i'll start another one today

oregano looks good, basil not quite as good. the eggplants hated the cold weather, but they are already responding to the warmer nights. got a japanese one that produces banana shaped fruit, and one that produces oval fruit like ostrich eggs IMG_20180509_154717.jpg
these strawberries are awesome, they survived the winter under a little straw, and already have strawberries the size of the end of my thumb IMG_20180509_154741.jpg

Do the hempy buckets still work well in the heat? I've been wanting to try them with my tomatoes, but the 105+ we routinely hit during summer concerns me.
