Garden Pictures.....in April

I haven't really planted much outdoors in April.  Weather has been rather cold and we've just had a few days in 50's.  Most of the starter seeds have grown into seedlings awaiting their turn to bask in the sun.  I've also noticed white flies around the leaves of butternut squash on both sides and ofcourse they've also moved onto tomatoes, melons and most other veggies.  After researching online, I sprayed them with a mix of rubbing alcohol and water.  Seems like the white flies number has substantially decreased, but they are still visible on some leaves.  I'll just watch and squirt them every now and then. 

Tiny spinach, mustard greens and peas, dominated by grass(:

  4. Thank you! Last year the seedlings were sturdy, this year not so much... Hopefully, it will perk up once the weather warms up(if it does)!

  7. Your seedlings look quite healthy. I'm planning to put my garden out this week. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate. It's been a rainy 2 months in WV.

  8. Mahes - Thank you! Will be planting most of them this memorial day weekend.

    rmgales - Some of the peppers are in good shape, but tomatoes are tall and lanky. Hopefully, they'll grow strong once planted outside.
