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.
P planted 6 asparagus crowns in a furrow tonight. I replanted peas because the others were not sprouting… too old?
Found an invasive in the blackberry bed. Pulled it out and bagged it.
Planted carrots and beets and moved some blackberry today. Replanted peas that haven’t come up
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.
Started tomato and pepper seeds. I was short on sungold and Lizzano so here’s hoping they come up.
Planted (from shed side) Sugar Bon and Sugar Sprint Peas.
Things have been busy, but I planted Walla Walla, red candy, and ringmaster onions.
Planted some kitchen garlic in the remainder of the garlic bed.
Honestly, this year was so disappointing that I didn’t want to record it. Deer. Raccoons. ROBINS. Grosbeaks. Stupid weather patterns. (Warm weather started late- then immediately got over 90 then cold again.)
Green beans recovered after I fenced them in against deer, but other than that and some excellent carrots everything was a bummer.
Here’s hoping 2024 is better.
Yesterday we pulled the tomatoes (all green) and planted garlic. Duganski & Italian late & music (in that order starting from shed).
Green tomatoes went in a box, and I dug up some of the peppers and bagged them for the greenhouse.
