Beans, kale

It’s been coolish, but Soil temps are over 60, and we have some warm weather coming up. Planted green beans, wax beans, and some marigolds in west e. I put seeds I saved from last year on the corner nearest the neighbors house to see if they grow as well as the purchased ones.

Planted runner beans and Romano beans and nasturtium in south d- where the broad bean favas failed to over winter. I guess I’ll try them again next year? The “cover crop” favas look great, so maybe I’ll have some small beans again. All new beans went under robin baskets.

Added a few more peas to the pea bed, and put kale seeds around the outside.

Transplanted the last couple of late planted peppers, and up potted two tomato sprouts and moved them to the greenhouse, where everything is looking good on a seed mat on the ground.

Also harvested some mojito!

Sun-day

Did a couple of chores around the yard today.

Chopped up the cover crop in upper b and upper c, and added amendment. I’m ready to get some greens in the ground! I’m hoping the cover crops and such will help with my nutrient deficiencies in there last year.

On Monday I started a bunch of tomato and pepper seedlings in side. I already have a bunch of tomatoes starting!

We set up the greenhouse/shelf outside, and discussed how we’ll use it. I’d like to do some starts out there when it gets a little warmer (okra?) and I’ll likely use it when my tomatoes and peppers are bigger.

More things are starting to come up- the perrenial sunflower has some activity at the root causing us to wonder about sunchokes… The garlic is going good- and the onions look terrible, but I think they always look terrible for a little bit.

Less related to the garden, I evened out the rocks and dirt in the spa-pit and moved the fire pit there (after replacing the rusted bowl.) Vegan s’mores will be had this summer.
