- I dug out more of the bottom of the composter and spread it on Raised Bed1 and Raised Bed 2.
I'm enjoying my little bibb lettuce starts. I planted out one in raised bed 1 and covered it with a milk jug with the bottom cut off. Makes a little greenhouse for it. Not sure that I should plant the others out yet. Just playing. I'll save the milk jugs and the lid and use them to pick blackberries into late in the summer. They make a nice scoup with a handle.- Ordered a package of Napolian Sweet Pepper seeds from seed saver.org. Haven't received them yet. When I get them, I'll start them in the greenhouse. I'm actually pretty excited about it. I didn't like the peppers I planted last year.
My snap peas will go in RB2. Also my bush beans. Need to get my snap peas started. Last year I started them in the greenhouse. Can I put them outside? We've been getting 50-60 degree days and rain, but no severe nights in sight.- Will I ever be eating argula? Patience. It's fun to watch, but I want to eat it.
- Bought a flat leaf parsley and rosemary plant at the nursery. Yes I know, but I couldn't resist.
Planted my spinach seeds directly in the ground in RB1. Seems to early, but we haven't had a frost for a while and the ground drains well there. May have been a mistake. We'll see. - Weather report is mild this week with some possible rain a few days. The greenhouse is maintaining 60 or 70 during the day and high 30s at night.
- No sign of the beef steak tomatoes yet, but the volunteers are going great gun. Pace yourselves guys, you've got a long ways to go.
- I'm researching pressure canners. I don't have one and I want to do some more canning this summer.
Remember that spring is on its way.
