Week #13 - We're growing again...

 If feels good to growing again! 

We've been seeding trays of plants for several weeks now and things are starting to come up! 

The familiar routines of checking the plants, watering, weeding, transplanting are starting up again. 

This year I'm feeling a bit more organized with a weekly seeding/transplanting/planting plan all laid out. 

Here's hoping that we can stick to it! You know what they say about the best laid plans! 

Every year we try something new.... this year we are going to give artichokes and peanuts a try! Artichokes need a long growing season so we've already seeded them and I saw them poking up this morning! 

Peanuts grow just like potatoes and are seeded directly into well drained soil. We are thinking about sticking them next to the asparagus and see what happens! 




Has anyone else tried peanuts? I'm excited to see how they do!

We've expanded our growing area this year again and are also planting more apple and pear trees. 

I'm so tempted to try apricots as my middle son devours them but not sure how they do here. We'll see what's in the truck after the trip to the nursery....

Knock on wood!



FFF Photo a Day - Day 151

Today was the day we put out all our transplants. We are reasonably sure that the last frost has passed (fingers crossed, knock on wood)!

Wish for gentle rains and light winds interspersed with sunny skies!

Transplant day

Today's chore is transplanting seedlings. These tomatoes are going to be huge if we don't get them in the ground soon! 

They will move out to our high tunnel (unheated greenhouse) shortly. I'm drooling just thinking about garden fresh tomatoes again!
