I would have to say yes, although we have had some good weather in our zone it is to early to set out heat loving crops such as cucumbers and squash. The nights have been to cold even though the days are unseasonablly warm. The good news is that if you restart the plants they will be ready intime to plant out after the last frost date. I too try to rush it, but had direct seeded the squash, the seed had rotted (or so I thought) due to the cold and wet spell so i replanted the area with stuff like kale, collards and broccoli. Well my squash finally popped throught the soil today telling me its getting close to plant them out. So go ahead and restart your seed, its not to late to give it another try.

"like rainfall" is pretty vague. I wouldn't know what to do with that either. I'm sure there is good advice on-line you can find. I have grown tifblue and premier (also rabbiteye-type bluberries like yours) for a few years now. I planted mine in fall, and watered well (probably about 4+ gallons per plant) maybe once a week for five or six weeks. I haven't hardly watered them since then, and they do fine on their own. They are just getting ripe now and loaded with berries, and covered with netting since yesterday so the birds don't get them all. Kind of like the blueberries you find at the edge of the woods, they are tough once they get established. So you can probably just water them in real good once a week for several weeks in the summer and then let them go. Mulch them good with pine straw and leaves, which also may help to keep the soil on the acidic side--they like that. Others who have been growing them longer can probably give you more advice. If I had sun and the space to grow them, I would love to grow muscadines, a persimmon tree, and maybe a peach tree. Todd

It does look nice now. Interesting balance of colors and textures. I also like how the Cereus looks like a central mountain or rock. Like tjicken said, some of these plants aren't really compatible. Left in with those other plants, in what looks like a pretty rich soil, you will definitely kill the Lithops. The Pleiospilos probably won't do so hot either. The rest of the other plants are much more adaptable, so they'll survive, but they will definitely compete to each others detriment. The Semps and Echies will clump and mound all over the place, and the Aloe will quickly fill the pots with roots. It all boils down to what you really want out of this dish garden. Do you want something that will last a few years without much maintenance? Then you should probably start over. Are you OK losing a few of the plants, and having to do a lot of work to keep it looking good? Then it is fine the way it is. Either way, take some time to read about the basic cultural requirements of the different genere you have so that you can properly tend to there needs.

Another thing to consider when patio growing is the 'heat sink' effect--how much extra hot may be coming from all the concrete, brick, etc? I have a townhome with a small enclosed backyard. The homes are brick, and I can get away with planting my basil a month earlier in containers next to the brick wall than I can out in my garden area. But, then, I have to move them when the heat sets in.
