Mighty cold (but normal) weather here in Saginaw Bay region (Zone: 5b/6a).
Moving some big bushes today and daily tending my grass seed patches I put in last weekend.
Rhubarb is springing up well with several uncurled leaves. Need to hit them with MiracleGro today and loosen soil around them.
I’ll end the day with stirring the soil in my tomato and pepper “corner” garden.

Question: Can I use a very weak broadleaf herbicide in that garden if I don’t plan on planting seedlings for another month? [I do plan on stirring it once a week from here on.]

Tomorrow I’ll buy all my equipment to create a salsa garden for the deck.

Question: What do you plant in your container-based salsa gardens?

No worries. Weed killers only kill the weed when it touches the leaf mass.

“Question: What do you plant in your container-based salsa gardens?”

Determinate Roma-type tomatoes, Jalapeno Peppers, Onions, Tomatillo, Sweet Red Pepper, Cilantro. Plant a separate pot of Mint for Mojitos to go along with your Salsa and Chips. ;)

I don’t use herbicides or any other pesticides—other than a garlic, onion, cayenne pepper spray that I make.

Salsa-You need tomatoes, onion, peppers-jalepeno chipotle green chilis etc., garlic, cilantro.
