March Update

So far March has been a good month at W.U.F.  We have managed to get two varieties of peas planted along with beets, onions, leeks and carrots.  We also planted a new raspberry bush and a blackberry bush to supplement the two raspberry bushes we planted last year.  The spearmint is back with lots of new shoots.  The pineapple mint is pushing up through its mulch.  The strawberries are coming back strong and already showing new growth.  The chives are ready for the first harvest of the year, with one plant going to seed already.  The fennel just popped its head through the mulch yesterday.  

We started digging a new bed last weekend, and it appears their is a brick path under the lawn.  It looks like somebody planted grass right on top of the brick.  Our house was built in the fifties, and we have found a lot of small treasures in the lawn, but a brick sidewalk was completely unexpected. It will be out by the end of this weekend so that we can prep the bed.  We are planning to plant our lettuce and spinach here to fill in the space until we can get squash planted and sprouted.  The lettuce and spinach require a fairly short growing time and will hold the soil until the squash is ready to spread out.  We will plant other beds with lettuce and spinach as well.   

I am trying to get a slide show up with updated pics every week.  I will also begin labeling posts so that folks can find things that fit their specific interests.  I hope everyone has a great week.
