If a tree falls on your garden…

There were just a couple of peas coming up under there- I’m pretty sure that a v/mole ate my seeds. I sprouted some in the greenhouse and transplanted them in the rebuilt/repaired bed.

Along with the ones I planted in the box, hopefully I’ll get some peas out of it.

I repotted most of the seedlings and moved them to the greenhouse (heater set to 52).

I think the pods>small pots was the way to go. Other than plant light misfire, the tomatoes got big and strong.

I potted one orange pepper plant and brought it inside.

Plant and transplant

Moved some tomato starts over into 2” pots, and ordered some more pots that size so I can do the rest and the peppers.

Planted squash seeds inside, and okra, and eggplant, replanted the peppers that had not come up, and a sweet million tomato.

I put some new pea seeds in that bed, but I have a feeling they are just being eaten up by something (vole? Mole?) from underneath, so I also planted a few in a pot up by the house.

New 2024 Plan – with Fence

Working to transition the annual beds all to the “West” beds so that we can fence them in to protect them from last year’s doe disaster. I’m also hoping to downsize a little– with only 9 beds in annual rotation. This will take rebuilding the old raspberry bed and building one more raised bed down below, but I hope to transition the “south” beds to perennials that need less care. I’d love to have more space for the thornless blackberries and asparagus.

We have had a LOT of activity on the game camera, even though there’s not much planted. Lots of bunnies and raccoon, and the occasional opossum.
