Bigger pots and new seeds

Planted okra and squash seeds and moved some seedlings into bigger pots.

Cilantro, spinach, arugula, and dill all coming up in the greenhouse.

Potatoes and up potting

The little moss pods I tried this year sprouted and grew faster than the seeds in the paper pots, so I up-potted most of them. It might be worth doing all that of them like that next year?

I also took advantage of the brief sunshine to plant some sprouted potatoes in our grow bags. It’s supposed to get cool and rainy tomorrow. (Ps: the potatoes were cut, dipped in wood ash, and healed for a few days.)

More peas, heathers

P tore out the raspberries the other day, and he covered the bed with cardboard and grass. We’re hoping to reclaim for asparagus (?) next year.

I also planted some more peas and cilantro-neither of which have started sprouting yet- and some dill in the greenhouse.

P planted a couple of winter blooming heathers next to the plum trees to hopefully encourage pollinators.

The spinach and arugula are starting to come up in the greenhouse, excited about that!

Root veggies

Today I planted beets and carrots!

Also p dug up the raspberry bed. I think we’ll probably put more asparagus in there.

Starts

Planted tomatoes peppers and tomatillos in their little pods.

Spring planting

Today we prepped beds and planted onion starts and peas. P also fertilized the asparagus. I planted spinach and arugula and cilantro to sprout in the greenhouse. As an experiment I also planted green peas from Trader Joe’s that sprouted in the refrigerated package… plan to eat those as pea shoots.
