2026 - 2

I still have plans to get rid of the wood planters and stick with the food grade plastic buckets for at least this year. They are showing their sun-worn age though, after these last few years the plastic is getting more and more brittle. The yellow ones are fine for now, but the grey ones are starting to splinter here and there.
I have an idea of how I wanna plant things out and I'm gonna keep it pretty simple for the ones I really want. Just strawberry, potatoes, tomatoes, lavas, mint and beans are my main focus. I still have random other seeds and if I find a nice and big planter I might still try sugarcorn again!

We only had snow for a few days, but the temps stayed in the minus for a long time. It's looking a little better at the end of the month now, but only a little. Just patiently waiting out the last frost day.
I have a strawberry plant indoors just to be sure, but it seems like the one in the wooden planter keeps living. Large parts are dead, but under that there are still some fresh green leaves that against all odds slowly grow on. The Lavas also just keeps going.
