ness Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Bok choy is a brassica like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and turnips. According to my trusty All About Vegetables book (remember books?) they're about 60 days to maturity and can tolerate light frost. So you'd plant them mid-August-ish. Think I'm gonna give it a try this fall. BTW -- frost warning tonight her in KC. BilletHead and Quillback 2 John

BilletHead Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 And we are covered.

N9BOW Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 We gave it a shot... 7 bales of straw and 30x50 tarp over the raised beds and a small one over some canner tomatoes and a few cabbage. The rest is pretty safe under the dirt BilletHead and wily 2
jdmidwest Posted May 9, 2020 Author Posted May 9, 2020 Covered up strawberry patch with black weed barrier tarps. Precut for the raised beds they reside in. Buckets, pots, and styrofoam cups over the maters and peppers. Big ole blue tarp over the apple tree. Just went out and put a few cups back on the small plants. Wind finally died, 52 at sunset. Cooling fast. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
MOPanfisher Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 I just covered the strawberries and maters. Apples, praches, cherries and pears all are already set and fruit growing I can't do anything for them. Plus I am on top of the hill so I will take the risk, won't be the first time if I lose.
wily Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 My dollar an ear corn is getting closer to 5 dollar an ear corn...it’s coming up pretty splotchy....I rushed out and planted it before that big rain a couple weeks ago. Had it all nice and fluffy and that rain spread it out...and beat it down I’m not too worried about the frost...forecast is for 37...we’re further south and west of most every one...so not too worried But we brought the potted plants in tho dang...your grass looks good
ness Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Got everything covered last night and we did get a frost last night. John
Terrierman Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Heavy frost here. Skim of ice on the bird bath. Going to wait another hour or so to uncover.
