It has been a while since I managed to get a post up but it has just been very busy. So weekend plans changed slightly so I decided that even though my plants hadn’t been fully hardened off to plant them anyways. On Friday night I set up 2 of the 4 trellis and the following morning set up another. There is still one more to go up for the pole beans.
On Saturday morning I planted another tomato plant (Yellow Pear), the Bok Choy, Cucumbers (Lemon, Straight Eight), some of my pepper plants (Sweet Banana), and some bush and climbing beans (Yellow and Green Wonder Wax, and Improved Tendergreen). I also planted some asparagus in pots outside to start crowns this year for fall planting in a permanent site.
Well I have been out in the garden and almost everything is looking good, the peppers tomato plants and bok choy transplanted very well. The cucumbers on the other hand not so much, they are still alive but are probably not going to do very much, not that I expected them too but hoped they might live. All of the lettuce, musclun mix and spinach that I planted all sprouted, as well as the green onions and the second planting of peas. I am still waiting for some of the garlic to sprout in the bottom bed but it is now getting much more shade than it was a couple weeks ago so might take a little longer. The garlic in the top bed the bulbils, have all sprouted. Also my potatoes are up! I only have 7 plants in my garden here but am glad they have sprouted.
These pictures are from May 15th, i just havn't had a chance to get them up. The one below is of the peas first coming up.
This one above is of the garlic bulbils sprouting up.
About half of the planting is done so far, I have planted my entire garden except for 1 row that was going to be peppers, but I might turn it into carrots or potatoes, gong to hold off a little bit while I decide. There is still the field garden to plant but I am waiting until it has been finished being worked up. It has been plowed but still needs to be disked and harrowed. It has been very wet and it is a heavier clay based soil so it might still be a couple more weeks. Pumpkins, Squash, Carrots, Potatoes, Onions, Watermelon and probably extra Cucumbers and Tomatoes will be planted there. I am an impatient person so because I can’t do anything to speed it up (damn weather), I am thinking more about container gardening to increase my garden output. I do currently have 4 large pots and a long wooden box with lettuce, spinach, musclun mix and green onions in them but will probably add more.
