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!
Today I planted beets and carrots!
Also p dug up the raspberry bed. I think we’ll probably put more asparagus in there.
Planted tomatoes peppers and tomatillos in their little pods.
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.
I also put clover seed in the mole hills.
Ordered new seeds for the garden.
Potted a few succulent pups in my etched jars. I like to give them a few weeks to get situated before the holiday shop.
I also moved some pups into a big pot in the greenhouse as an experiment.
Fiiiinnnallly got some rain and got garlic in the beds that had tomatoes. South A got (east to west) Italian Late, Duganski, and Music. West H got a mix of (east to west) soft neck and hard neck from this year’s harvest.
While we’re leaving most stuff out for now- I also cleaned up the tomato bags and okra. I transplanted the healthiest looking pepper plants into the greenhouse (with the heater) and one okra. We’ll see how they fair. i also started some beet and arugula micro greens in there.
First Roma! First couple of beaver lodge (yum!)
Planted favas in south D.
It’s still been cold and gloomy. Beans are coming up, green sungolds are starting, snap peas are getting gobbled up. Hoping for sunshine and slightly higher temps this week. (Also, I planted basil starts and beet greens in the beds, and moved the mystery tomato next to the ground cherries.) oh and spruce tips finally came. Picked the tips off all the favas because aphids started showing up.
Planted all the peppers and remaining tomatoes today.
Also moved out plum tomato and some okra bags.
