Spring is Here & We're Plantin'!!

Well, we're getting this years' garden planted. This week I planted seeds & started seeds for transplanting.

Direct Seeded
  • Lettuce
  • Spinach
  • Chard
  • Onion
  • Cabbage
  • Broccolli
Transplants
  • Tomatoes - Cherokee Purple, Indian Curry, Azorean Red, Reisenstraube, Tommy Toes, Amish Yellow, Paquebot Roma, Green Stripe.
  • Purple Beauty Peppers
  • Early Fortune Cucumbers
  • Marigolds (for pest control & to sell)
  • Catnip (for the cats & to sell)
  • Nasturdium (for pest control & to sell)
I'll be starting more in the weeks to come.

Cletus broke ground for our new potato patch. We actually bought seed potatoes this year. We're planting
  • Yukon Gold
  • Butte
  • Cranberry Red
  • Rose Finn Fingerlings
Cletus has been busy planting more Blueberries. It's a good thing cause last year we sold so many I didn't have enough for my freezer stash this winter. I've been rationing them out. I've got 1 more quart bag left. The new Blueberry bushes are looking good & have lots of new buds.

It feels good to get out in the sun & work in the dirt again. The Pheobes are nesting. The Forsithias are blooming. It's time to shake off the winter blues!
