Vegetable beds will be also be fertilized, as we are expecting a couple days of rain. Once all that nitrogen is good and soaked in, the planting will begin. Peas, arugula, beets, lettuce and calendula all getting started outdoors this week. Indoor seed starting for swiss chard, cauliflower and more lettuce. I'm counting the days until our produce does not need to come from Whole Foods. I've also got to get serious about figuring out what I'm planting where in my vegetable beds. I have a rough idea in my head, but areas need to get marked off, so no space is wasted.
Look what's popping up nicely....
Kids have already asked how long it will be until we have garlic bread.
Awesome garlic! Don't forget you have a knack for growing huge basil so make sure you calculate that in your layout!! I'm so excited to be outside and working.
ReplyDeleteFortunately the herbs are all going elsewhere - don't want that basil competing with my tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI'm just in for a quick lunch and then back out, I'm thrilled to be outside too, spent the last 2 hours rejuvenation pruning two 10+yr Hydrangeas that have never been pruned properly. You know how I like a challenge!
