Currently harvesting carrots that over-wintered, beets and the new spinach we planted as the other started to play out and bolt. The English peas are doing well - yum! We've had the first of the brocolli but should have lots to come with enough to freeze the extra.
We have several flats of seedlings to put out today - direct seeding is more hit and miss, and after a visit to Crystal Organic Farm up the road from here, we've decided to do more transplants and less direct seeding. Squash and butterbeans go out today, bush beans and some nasturtiums tomorrow I think. Went just a little crazy with tomatoes - can't even count them but I know there are 5 rows in the kitchen garden and 4 more in the plot behind the house. Plus a few more to move out from the greenhouse. And, yes, I just ordered one last package of Juliets....... somebody stop me! Spending a lot of time these days cutting grass, but not because it needs so much cutting |
