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?

Squashes

Dear Future Alison- the correct date to start squash seeds is early April, not early March.

I put a few seedlings out with season lengtheners.

Hopefully they survive.

I also put azomite and dry fertilizer with them.

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

Transplanting and planting

I put more corn salad and spinach seed in the buckets, since they have not sprouted at all. I filed another bucket and seeded with kale and chard.

Planted cilantro and parsley

transplanted some of the basil starts into the big pot

Moved other starts to bigger pots. Some have raised bed soil, (“rb”)

Planted some more healthy pepper seeds in the delicata pots that never sprouted.
