#STORMWATCH #FLASHFLOOD #TORNADO #HAIL #WIND First wave was not terribly bad here. Had some high winds with heavy sheets of rain that caused some minor tree limb damage. They had some large, windshield shattering, hail North of here by the XNA Airport. 03/14/2025.

#RED-POTATOES #BLACK-GARBANZO-BEANS #COMPANION PLANTING #COOL-SEASON-GARDENING #CONTAINER-GARDENING #BENNYB1966 The Red Potatoes I planted with the Black Garbanzo Beans on 02/16/24 started coming up today. I live in Arkansas Hardiness Zone 6b South of the Missouri line. The weather here during that time has been like a roller coaster ride back and forth from the 20's through the 70's. We had a light frost here yesterday and again this morning. So far, everything I have planted has done just fine with no coverings or frost protection. It's still way too early to plant the Summer Garden here, so on with the leafy greens for now.

#GREENHOUSE-TENT #SHELTERLOGIC6x8x6.5ft #COOL-SEASON-GARDENING #BENNYB1966 Assembled roof section of the mini-greenhouse tent yesterday evening and this morning. It has taken me about two hours just putting the frame together. As expected, the instructions are not very easy for me to follow and there weren't enough bolts of each size provided. I'm hoping it turns out to be worth it. Found it for $97 at the Atwoods Farm & Ranch Store. Same thing was more than $200 last year, so I snatched it up to give it a try. We get high winds here, so I will probably need to anchor it with concrete to keep it from going airborn into the neighbor's yard. 03/06/2024.

Ready to plant!

I've grown a few little things like herbs and strawberry plants in 5 gallon plastic buckets over the years. The bigger plants like potatoes and tomatoes didn't thrive at all in the buckets for me and they required frequent watering to keep the plants alive. The potatoes that managed to survive were tiny like peanuts; just sayin'. I've repurposed my ruined buckets for composting coffee grounds and potato peelings; they work great for that! #5 gallon plastic buckets #BennyB1966 02/16/2024

#CONTAINER GARDENING #RED PONTIAC POTATOES #COOL SEASON GARDENING #BENNYB1966 02/15/2024 Drill drainage holes in bottom of 50 gallon plastic tubs. Fill tubs 1/2 full with dirt. Plant 5 sulfur-dusted seed-potatoes per container and barely cover them with dirt. Water them in. Gradually add more dirt to "hill them" up as they grow. If frost threatens, cover them with clear plastic or more dirt to protect from freezing. Keep them slightly moist, but be careful not to overwater. Too much water will encourage fungal diseases and cause them to rot. Depending on the weather and how big you like your potatoes, they'll be ready to start digging up to harvest in 3 to 6 months. Once the tops die back, the potatoes will stop growing and can be dug as needed well into late Fall.
