broccoli, tomatoes, basil
Today I took out the watering can. That's it then, the official beginning. A new neighbor who saw me about asked if I was planning the garden. Planning?, I questioned smugly, I've already started. Peas right there, they survived the freeze last night and a ground assault by squirrels! Oh, who do I think I am?
I planted new pea seeds into the planters today since I learned they can be grown on top of one another. Also, squirrels! So on goes the mesh.
I planted spinach seeds in the spinach planter where some spinach has over-wintered.
And should I want to destroy something this year, it'd be this Yew tree that puts shade on the vegetable garden. The veggies need more sun, particularly in March and September. I secretly hoped the snow would weigh this guy down to his demise.
Sorry, webiworld, crocus on the march!
I guess even urban gardeners aren't immune to the unwelcome shade trees. But you do get a few breaks -- I went outside this morning to see that deer had chomped away at all my sprouting bulbs :-(
ReplyDeleteLooks like your veggies are well underway! I enjoyed your flower show pics, too.
This is inspiration for me. I'm going to sow my spinach and other veggie seeds right now. I've been procrastinating, even though food growing is my top-most interest right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nudge.

Couldn't er, an accident befall the leaning tree? Someone might climb it for instance, just some crazy tree person, and sit at the end leaning over the sidewalk until it...collapsed?
ReplyDeleteI could try.
