Friday Fotos

 

first daffs!

Welcome to our first Friday Fotos of March!

Garden Friday will resume in a few weeks,

but this week's activities revolved around the garden

with the gorgeous weather pattern we are currently in.

 

 On Monday last, a whole host of seeds were sown,

using the homemade cardboard pots.

They number over a hundred and include

not only veg, but herbs and flower as well.

I was pumped to see that after only 3 days,

one of the lettuce varieties had already germinated.

 

The rest of the carrots were harvested,

to make room in the bed for the Yukon Gold potatoes

that need to go in within the next week.

This year, I am going to purchase a bag of organic potatoes

from the grocery store, instead of buying the ones at the hardware store,

as I have done in the past.

I just want to see how they do.

There were a few leek that needed to be moved in the bed,

and they should be no worse for wear.

 

I even spied one of the leek I transplanted in a cardboard pot.

It had disintegrated and the leek looks like it is faring well.

 

 This bed currently holds onions, parsley and red cabbage,

which will not be disturbed for a while.

There are plans to grow something else here

once these are ready to be harvested.

 

I'm really diggin' the trellises I made out of cattle panels,

as they facilitate easy maintenance in the bed 

or pulling up what's ready.

The wide openings keep things accessible.

 

The items needed for our intended asparagus bed

were purchased earlier this week.

The asparagus plants are coming from our local

Extension office.

We are also expecting 3 blueberry plants.

Time will be spent prepping the areas for these new crops.

 

These pansies have spent the winter on the front porch

and look like they were just planted.

Amazing!

 

I hope the sunshine finds you this weekend.
Be Blissed!
