Still giving

Good haul today- tomatoes are still looking ok- we might have some cool weather coming up, so I’ll keep an eye on them. (I’m pulling the tomatoes early to ripen inside, anything orange).

The jalapeños never got very big, but they look plump and healthy. I’ll need to remember to pull them before a cold snap.

Look at this enormous marigold! It’s from whatever seeds I sprinkled last year at the base of the rocks.

Squash are getting powdery mildew. Happens every year. Delicata look established, which is good. Prolly have another week or so of summer squash.

The okra is still going!

Peas, kale, and favas are getting started.

Looks like it’s almost grape time- we’re going to make jelly this year.

This week

Thursday I replanted the tomato and tomatillo sprouts, and started okra and squash.

The greens are getting started. (That was Thursday as well.)

P worked up South D and I finally planted carrots and beets down there.

He’s clearing out space for two new beds now, near the fence. Extra beds! Yay!

Still just two arugula sprouts- but one is THICK.

Looks like someone was playing in my onion beds. Lots pulled up, some replanted upside down, markers tossed about.

I also planted cilantro (outside and inside) and basil (inside), more peas and kale in the pea bed.

More onions, some weeding, some fertilizer

After planting the little threads that were the result of my winter sowing, I didn’t have big hopes for them, so I grabbed a couple more bundles of spanish yellow and ringmaster the next time I went to the grange.

But low and behold, the little threads are hanging in there! I ran more of the ringmaster onions around the onion bed, then realized one of my garlic beds was half empty. I put the spanish yellow and the remaining onion threads in that bed. I had good luck planting tight and thinning throughout the season last summer, so hopefully that happens again.

There are two asparagus guys poking through the soil, which is EXCITING.

Here’s the State of the sprouts. The arugula is starting in the short greenhouse.

I fertilized the strawberries (box) and herb pots (bottle). Let spring come!
