VIDEO BLOG - GARDEN UPDATE - MARCH 28TH 2015


MARCH 28TH GARDEN UPDATE

Green Onions
 Lots going on in the garden this weekend!  I transplanted the herbs and moved the sunflowers away from the potatoes.  I also planted more seeds; Purple Carrots, Sunflowers in pots, Squash and Zucchini in large pots and planted some purple tomato seeds.  It's funny, I thought I was pretty much done last weekend! :)  As it turns out, I'm always adding more, whether it's a new raised bed, pots or anything that
Pansies
 gives me an excuse for being out in the yard or garden.  This by far, is my favorite time of year!  When I first started my garden, I used soaker hoses on timers but traded them in for hand watering because after a long day at work, the perfect way to decompress is spending time with my plants, hand watering.
Bush Beans and Raidishes
 Easter is next weekend, a day for counting our blessings, renewal and rebirth.  I hope you enjoy your day rejoicing and spending quality time with your families.

Happy Palm Sunday and Have a happy Weekend.

MARCH 22 - GARDEN UPDATE 2015

POTATOES

ONIONS RADISHES LETTUCE
Usually the first few weeks of the growing season are slow going.  Not this year!  The potatoes, onions, Garlic and lettuce are booming.  I planted some Kentucky wonder pole beans around the garden and added some bush beans in a few spots also.  I found them to be good companion plants for cucumbers along with radishes..
EGGPLANT

SUGAR SNAP PEAS

SPINACH
All of the seedlings from the green house have done very well transplanted so far.  I can see evident growth on the eggplants and tomatoes already.  The only bug damage I see so far is on a few of the potato plants and saw Caterpillar on the sugar snap peas and I've treated with BT. 

More to come soon as I'm a bit behind in posting.  Thanks for your patience.

Happy Spring Gardening!
