Petunias & Romaine

 

D. Petunias & Romaine

Put three dwarf petunia starts into a hanging pot. Transferred a dozen or two Romaine starts into a raised bed.

And an update on how the rhubarb is doing. I'm kind of impressed with the rhubarb too.

 

 

     

Chard & Chicken Coop

 

Planted out the Swiss chard.

Also cleaned out the chicken coop, and spread the used chips and sawdust into the yard for composting.

 

Tomato Day

 

Planted tomatoes in the greenhouse bed.​

One Cherokee Carbon, one Oxheart. So far. Also got a white tomasol into a large pot for the year.

Pretty cool accomplishment, in my own mind anyway. I harvested the last two Cherokee carbon tomatoes from the plants from last summer, pulled those plants up, fertilized the soil with worm castings and some 5-5-5, and planted new tomato plants. I was without tomato plants for all of an hour.

 

 

Asparagus Is Showing Up

 

Boy is that delicious!

Replanted some obscure tomatoes. My lady likes the green ones. We've never tried the white ones. They are rumored to have a pretty mild flavor on them.

The word is that the potato sacks can go out three or four weeks before the last frost, which is about now. Put the Tater sacks out.

Planted the sprouted pea seeds today as well.

 

        

Pea Starts

 

Had some pea starts growing indoors. Put them out. Previous peas had been eaten pretty badly. Don't know if it was slugs or birds. So I put down some slug bait, and covered them with mesh screen.

 

Campfire Ring

Finished the campfire ring

Fill the cracks in the top between bricks with liquid nails, then embedded a lot of sand into the liquid nails, so it looked the color of rocks. More or less.

 

Rearranging

 

Rearranging a number of shelves in the greenhouse, making room for more things to grow. More starts.
