Today we finally had a nice sunny day out after all of that rain this last week, so I took advantage of that by starting to plant the early spring vegetables.
In my bottom garden I planted Parsnips (Hollow Crown Improved), Carrots (Purple Haze, Danvers Half-Long and Purple Dragon), Purple Gourmet Shallots and Garlic. It is just regular white garlic although I do have a couple of other varieties that I started about a week ago but I will leave that discussion for its own post.
In the top bed I planted the first sowing of Peas (Mammoth Melting Sugar and Oregon Sugar Pod II). They will be trellised so I can maximize my space.
Also in the top bed I transplanted the rhubarb that I dug up yesterday as well as the plant I already had. There are 4 plants and they are situated in a 10x4 foot row, 2’ apart to give them room to expand. I could have given them more room but felt that this would be sufficient for now and wanted to save that room for other vegetables.
This year I am growing a wide variety of vegetables and vegetable varieties in my garden, so that I can find out what does well and what I prefer(varieties). So while I will not have mass quantities of anything I should hopefully have a nice selection of everything.
