02/25/26: Artichokes are taking off after the pot up. I screwed up though and didn’t put enough soil in a bunch of pots. My mistake was not compressing the soil lightly before putting the plant in and the level dropped after I watered them in. It happens. They’ll probably get potted up again before they go out anyway so I’ll remedy it then.
This was the first year of cold stratification and so far, I’m not seeing much progress from half of what I tried to start. I have time to try again, so I might this weekend or in the coming week.
Also gave the onions another cut. I intend to get them in 72 cell trays, I just haven’t had the capacity to get it done. With work, dental work, and not feeling the best, it’s been a struggle.
But, regardless, I’m always here if you need help gardening. I’ll “meet you where you are” in the process. Starting seeds? Me too. Clearing a garden space? Me too. Trying a new process or variety? Me too. So, leave a comment and tell me what you have going in your gardening journey!
