Well, I am getting going with my garden. The garlic is doing fairly well.
I planted Monastrell, Walla Walla, and Patterson onions 4-8-20. They seem to be growing away.
The peas are growing slowly. They are about 6 inches tall and I am trying to use the tomato clamps to attach them to the twine hanging down from the t frame they are growing under.
March 11th I planted green arrow, Lincoln homesteader, Sugar Ann
I also planted carrots. Scarlet Nantes coreless at the same time. They are up about an inch.
End of March I put potatoes in the ground..... forgot to mark the date. They are breaking ground and looking good. I planted mostly russets, but also, a few white, red, and blue fingerlings.
On 4-5 I harvested a nice bunch of Rhubarb and made rhubarbque sauce and canned it. We tried some on bbq chicken. It was really good!
4-9 I planted out spinach, mustard lettuce, speckled lettuce, winter density lettuce. I think the ph was off from too much lime on the bed. I thought I killed all of the starts but after some really big rains they are starting to grow. As of 4-29 they now have a little new growth.
On 4-15 I started harvesting some asparagus! YUM
On 4-19 a not so good note ~ I planted Red iceberg crisphead (unknown source or seed year), and Delicata Heirloom (Lake Valley 2019 seed), but neither have germinated. That is very unusual because it normally takes about 2 days for lettuce and about 4 days for Delicata.... I don't know what happened. I may try those again tho just to be sure it wasn't a fluke, and compost the seeds if they are bad.
4-27 I planted out Ellie's Eden Copenhagen cabbage. It was raining so I didn't put out Sluggo, and of course the tiny slugs hit it hard! I got some bait out ASAP
4-29- Today is my baby's 43rd birthday. I got some Northern Candy Roaster, Cinderella pumpkin planted out in the garden. My fingers are crossed I didn't plant it out too early! I wanted to plant out the zucchini but on closer look, I would like the seedlings to have one more true leaf.
I will try not to wait another 4 years to post updates LOL
