What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

Finally got the onions in, between rain drops, yesterday! Also, planted 20 raspberry bushes. Can't wait for those to mature!!!
 
Yesterday, 2 beds went in to 3 varieties of peas - snow, snap, and shell!

I often wait for the Oregon grape to bloom on my phenological scheduling of such things. That makes pea plantin' a tad late but cuing off the flowering of Forsythia often results in some weeks of rainstorms!

The Forsythia has been blooming for a week and as I'm standing scratching my head looking at the Oregon grape, I just decided to go with phrenology instead of phenology this time around.

Project BudBurst - I used to contribute my in-depth dandelion flowering information to this site. Then they dropped Taraxacum officinale but may sneak back on with Lamium amplexicaule (Henbit deadnettle) data. ;)
 
This weekend I got *all* the vegetables out of the greenhouse. The last of the tomatoes and peppers went out to the garden (which is now fenced, but gate-less) and I planted cucumbers and cantaloupe from seed.

I moved the flowers out to the greenhouse, and planted a few more herbs under the lights inside.

I was about to give up on the spearmint I planted from seed, but today I saw one *tiny* pair of leaves, so I'll give it a while longer. I understand it spreads like wildfire so if I can get just one sprig going I should be okay.

Since I tilled the garden last fall, I planted sweet corn yesterday in the mud. If they live, great. If too wet/cold, only lost a few seeds.
 
I planted some Australian Butter Squash and Butternut Squash seeds that a friend gave me, and got another section tilled for beans, as soon as I get some saplings cut to make tipis out of. Trying not to spend a bunch of money and buying bamboo seems silly when I have hundreds of sweet gum saplings in with the pines. -Wendy
 
Today I transplanted my little leaf cucumbers into AutoPots in the greenhouse. So far they live up to their name as the leaves are indeed small.
