Today I went over to the field to see if anything had sprouted yet and it turns out everything has started to sprout. The watermelon, cucumber, pumpkins and cantaloupe have all sprouted. There are potatoes that are starting to come up as well as a few things of corn and a couple bean plants. I expected most of the beans to be up by now but am wondering if the heavy clay soil is hindering that.
All of the extra plants that went into the compost heap are also doing well. I cleaned up the remaining leaves from the cottage and dumped them in a huge pile that will be used later on in the summer to mulch the potatoes, and I used some of them now to help retain moisture around the plants in the compost heap.
