I have Sundays and Mondays off from my bill paying job. Yesterday was the first day I've had off in the last month that wasn't snowing, blowing, raining, or all three. It is nice during the week while I'm at work, but when I am trying to get some garden work done on weekends it snows. It snowed Saturday, so I finally sat down and did the taxes online. Today we got an old bed cleaned out and ready to plant. While prepping the area we found some garlic bulbs that needed separating replanting. We had planted the garlic two years ago and that whole area was covered in weeds and was fallow last year. We should have a good garlic crop now that it is replanted. We also planted red,white, and yellow onions today. We also planted the peaches and cream sweet corn. We still have a lot of catch up to do. We need to plant lettuce, spinach, and replant beets, and carrots for successive harvests.
Tonight after I got home from work we cleaned out another old bed and planted the first lettuce crop. I noticed that the radishes have begun sprouting overnight. We still have a ways to go, but we are much further than we were at this time last year.
For 2009 so far we have planted:
Peas 2 varieties
Carrots
Beets
Radishes
Corn
Onions
Garlic
Lettuce
Leeks
Scallions
Golden Raspberries
Blackberries
Rosemary
From 2008 or earlier we have life signs from:
Rhubarb
Strawberries
Chives
Mint
Pineapple Mint
Red raspberries
Horehound
Lavender
Winesap Apple Tree
We still have a way to go, but it is coming along nicely.
