Garden Update

March 25, 2010

Luckily I planted more seeds before this snow.  Nothing compares to putting seeds in the earth, and watching clouds drop water on them.  Something invisible kicks in. 

In a constant effort to have produce as early as possible we built a mini hoop house in the garden with some greenhouse plastic and we are going to transplant tomatoes, corn, squash, watermelons, basil, eggplant, chard, and more out side next week.  The snow stretched it out somewhat so it drooping right now.  But I’m surprised it held up to that wet snow.  Anyway this will be our 50/50 crop.  If it lives we’re ahead, if it dies we’re not behind. 

Plus planted more lettuce, tat soi, and a bunch of other stuff in uncovered beds.  Plus we had almost %100 germination for all our pepper crops in the main greenhouse.

  1. Tomatoes, corn, squash, basil…all ready for transplant, nicely done Luke. Never once worried about your new greenhouse and that last wet snow. Can’t wait to see it. Congratulations on the 100% pepper crop germination.
