From Forest to Skillet: Edible and Native Plants in the Cross Timbers of Oklahoma. 837 yard species and counting!
Oklahoma Mesonet posted a link to a great map today. It shows average last frost dates for Oklahoma from 1981-2010. I went ahead and put it in the References spreadsheet.
Some in front yard, some in back yard!
I forgot to take a picture of the seedling radishes in the front yard before it got dark. They were ones I planted before the big freeze, on Feb. 5.
It’s warm and sunny in the day and cool but not hard freezes at night. I decided it’s time for plants to see the world!
They sprouted!
Wes cooked up a very nice dinner with garden harvest storage and some ground venison courtesy of Paula!
Paula came over and we planted many things, as well as doing some trimming and raking.
I left the glass jar off the backyard newly transplanted seedlings last night and those two were gone. Genius move there. HOWEVER, in the front yard I also checked on the two new seedlings there. One was fine, the other was GONE and it was under a glass jar too. Earwig? Rolley-polley? We may never know. Paula has kindly and generously agreed to re-donate back one of the many I gave to her as her mortality rate is currently substantially lower. Like all of them are living. Thank you, Paula, for subsidizing my sink population.
At least half of the 13 seeds and seedlings are growing nicely post-cold-stratification from the fridge.
