I went out to the shed and walked through the mud and rain to get my supplies I needed. I even had to go to Wal-Mart to get some peat pots to plant in. I did all the work with the potting soil in the wood room so that I would not get dirt all over the house like I usually do. The wood room It is a room off the porch where he keep firewood. If it had a west or south window, I would turn it into a potting shed/greenhouse. I wrote down what I planted in my Garden Notebook. I feel like I am organized this year.
I planted some bok choy named Extra Dwarf Pak Choy.
I planted 3 kinds of cabbage, Brunswick, Late Flat Dutch, and Giant Mammoth. The onions I planted on Feb. 8 are up, at least the Ailsa Craig are.
The other container had different seed and only a couple sprouted. It was older seed, so I replanted that box with Ailsa Craig and started another box with Brunswick and Jaune Paille Des Vertus.
The sweet potatoes are still growing in the greenhouse and are getting a lot of roots. This picture is when I put them in the jars, so you cannot see the roots. I think I am going to have sweet potatoes slips to plant. They are Beauregard sweet potatoes.
I will be going through the seeds and deciding what to plant next. I probably will have too many things again and no room, especially if I start some flowers.
I am starting to look at the ground and see when the dandelions start showing up. I know it is too early yet, but I know the rabbits can't wait. The also love cilantro, so I will plant a lot of that and basil. The mint will be coming back and the thyme. T
I hope the neighbor's bunnies that have adopted us, are gone by the time I plant my garden. Yikes! I thought they would go home during that cold spell, but I noticed they are still here the other day...at least one is.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. The rabbits did not really bother my garden after the plants were bigger, but they could eat a whole cabbage or squash plant in 1 day when the plants were new.
