Month: March 2019

Peas.

Planted some peas in west C, and some arygula in upper c. P got most of the other beds ready for 60 degree soil.

Roots and greens are sprouting well.

We have a few asparagus spikes poking through the soil- not as many as I’d hope, but a couple are quite thick.

The hops are already going crazy, p pulled the extra bits off today.

Raspberries are starting to bloom.

It’s been quite dry and warm here the last few weeks- so I watered today and a couple of days ago.

Starts are starting- okra and tomato plants are going first (:

Back

And starting seeds

update 4/15: I’ve transplanted a few, and added potting soil to the remainder. Next year use potting soil from the start- I think things struggled with the seed starter.

Roots and Greens

Planted kale and Swiss chard in West C, after tilling in the cover crop and adding compost. I just sort of sprinkled the seeds around.

Planted root crops together in upper c. It might be a mess, but I plan to thin things down as I go. Carrots, rutabaga, beets, and radishes. Covered the first set with some loose soil (1/2 deep) and just sort of sprinkled the rest in.

put out cilantro seeds

And some abandoned bonbons (herbs and edible flowers.)

Planning Map

It looks like I should get some beets and carrots in the ground asap. Maybe peas depending on if the soil is up to 50deg. I’ll try to do that this week.

Onions!

I got my hands on some onion starts (labeled “transplants”) at the grange today. Hopefully I’ll be able to get them planted this weekend.
