Sunday was a beautiful sunny day, so spent some time in the garden planting out some of the cooler-weather crops, and transplanting things that had been spending time under the greenhouse-film covered hoops. One square foot garden bed is filled right now, with plans to rotate in other veg as things ripe.
Small seeded fava beans are finally coming up, jerusalem artichokes havent begun to poke thru yet, the strawberries are showing new growth, and the rhubarb looks like it will have lots of new growth on it this year. We also thinned out the lilac tree growing by the artichokes, so there will be a bit more light coming thru.
Planted on Sunday:
- shallots planted in the main flower bed in front of the sweet cicely
- Beets (albino and deacon dan
- turnip (tokyo cross)
- peas (sugar snap, Russian sugar and ‘Summer’)
- broccoli raab
- Chard (canary and Rhubarb)
- Edible chysanthemum
- Radish (french breakfast)
- Chinese cabbage
- Lettuce
- onion (copra and walla walla)
- Chickpeas
- Arugula
- Spinach
- Kohlrabi
- Pac choi
- Tah Tsai
regular broccoli will spend another 1 week in the greenhouse, plan to do another round of planting on April 8, just before the full moon. Tomatos, peppers, eggplant also started in the greenhouse, but wont be out in the garden until 4th week of april at the earliest.
