My spinach seedlings propped up their cotyledons this week. They're always the first crop of the season, which I consider officially opened by their appearance. We experienced the coldest March since the start of the climatic measurements over here. Nightly temperatures dropped to -15°C (5°F) only two weeks ago, so I wasn't expecting them yet.
Pic related; the first two are from March 10, the last one from today.
>>70396I remember this gif, from when /ck/ was still the place to be for gardening threads. Aren't you also the guy with the CSI-garden and long elongated raised beds out of concrete blocks, who spends a week canning at the end of every growing season? A hat tip to you either way. I appreciate progress pics or gifs.
>>71808>do you think anyone would be willing to just come dump their extras here for free?Around here it's rather easy to come by horse manure for free. Most horse owners don't engage in agricultural activities on a large enough scale to use up their own. They do expect you to take care of logistics yourself however. I myself don't have a truck either, but my car does have a tow hitch. The farm were I get my manure lets me use their utility trailer for free. 'Young' gardeners get a lot of sympathy around here; I play(ed) that card a lot.
