Temperature over the last month has been below the seasonal average on 28 out of 31 days. We have had rain (or snow) every day for the last 2 months. We had an inch of snow yesterday morning – the first April snow accumulation I have seen in 22 years here. Today, finally, sunshine and 50 degree temperatures. Time to get the garden cleaned up and a few cabbabes, parsley and onions transplated.
The calendar says it’s time to plant carrots?
Looks like a good day to work in the green house. Pots seeded with 50 varieties of heirloom tomatos are presently beginning to sprount in my house. I have transferred the first few into the green house. Small pots seeded with 50 seeds each of broccoli, white cabbage, red cabbage and cauliflower several weeks ago grew to have their first true leaves over the last week. Yesterday I finished transplanting these seedlings into 4″ pots in the green house.
Spring is on the horizon
The 2009 planting season is here! Lettuce, water cress, arugala and onion seeds were sprouted in the house and transferred to the green house. We are preparing to start tomato seeds.
