Planting day
I’m very happy with how my starts are looking.
Lots of planting today. The weekend is going to be in the 80’s, nights over 50. I hope I’m not jumping the gun!
Green and yellow beans planted.
Peppers (healthy, jalapeño 2, mini bell 2) and tomatillos 3
Tomatoes (nova 2, legend 1) and okra (clemson 3, jambalaya 3)
Added a sungold to the nova.
One of each pepper in a bag (healthy, waltz, jalapeño, mini bell, anaheim)
Squashes look oh-kay. I might add a seed to each for backup.
Progress from the last week
I’ve been doing some basic things in the yard. I moved one Nova and one tomatillo into season starters, they seem to be doing ok, so are the squash. I put another patty pan and delicata on the slope, but the season starters won’t work there so I made a cover from a basket and plastic and I open it when i open the greenhouse every day.

More mulching, planting, shenanigans
We mulched a bunch more yesterday, made some progress.
Today i planted beets, carrots, and parsley in South C (which I prepped with more soil and compost yesterday.
There were actually some tiny onion and leek sprouts from my seeds, i added the tiny “winter sowed” sprouts to the bare spaces.
Next year- start winter sow earlier, January?, and make sure to water.
something went digging in my peas. It looks like an animal of some sort. The sprouts are mostly intact, just buried.
Arugula is bolting. I guess it flowers based on time?
Am now “season starter” believer
Yup, I’m buying more wherever I can get to a store again.
Blackberry chips and mystery bulbs
Today we used a new chipper to break down some of the blackberry pile into mulch.
And we found a few mystery flowers/bulbs that I replanted after tromping on too many times.
Also, more asparagus!
Gonna hurt tomorrow
Tore up the lower beds and added in some compost. Hopefully i can get even more squash out of it this year.
All the buckets are sprouting!
(Corn salad, kale, spinach)
P picked the first asparaguses (asparagi?) to grill tonight.
Transplanted some more stuff
Everything still crazy
But
Corn salad is sprouting
There might be asparagus soon
I moved some tiger grass plugs to the newly cleared black berry area, did some weeding, wandered. Upplanted a tomato and let the greenhouse breath a little (it was finally in the fifties outside.) There must have been more, I’m tired and sore.
Screaming
The stay-at-home stuff I can deal with- by the lack of warmth and sunshine is going to drive me batty. March was colder than January. It froze last night. I could barely handle being outside to transplant this morning… but i did it. Now I’ve got a fire going and I’m sitting in the window when the sun breaks through.
Here are the inside seedlings
