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

[Rosalind]

This week:

Potatoes: Peruvian Blue, Cranberry Red. Last week I planted the fingerlings, Yukon Golds and All-Blue.

Invicta gooseberries, two sweet cherry trees, five apples (another N. Spy, RI Greening, Cinnamon, Nonesuch, another russet), some grapes.

Also going to start some beds for chicken greens. Have some lettuces going in the cold frame, but they are still very small.

Just came in from planting carrots, radises, shallots and some iceberg lettuce.

Scallions, peas, broccoli, chard, red & green head lettuces, beets, mesclun and some asian greens. Hoping Mother Nature "waters" soon so I don't have to.

Did you get rain today Kathyschix? It drizzled almost all day here in Altoona and rained all last night. We really needed it.

Ut Oh.... my friend Stef had the same issue. Squirrels got most of her seedlings that came up.

I suggest a little fence and BB gun!

We have a fence but it needs some repair work & expansion done. When I told dh they were eatting on his corn seedlings he said we need to fix the fence asap!(figures). I did find a few more seedlings popping up yesterday morning(we will see if they are still there today) so not quite as much to replant. I really need this garden this yr as dh will be losing money as he has to take a one day a pay period furlough starting in July & what he will lose is our grocery budget. So I need all the produce we can grow ourselves now.

Yeah I'm preparing for the worst this year too. I know my neighbors have been laid off so I've been sharing eggs so far... I will get them spinach and lettuce soon... over the summer I'll share what cucumbers and tomatoes I can as well. I don't think we can lose our crops to pests this year.

My husband was laid off last year for 2 1/2 months and thank goodness got a great job with a booming company since (a week before christmas). You just never can know how that will go. So I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch in this economy.

I would really try to cover some of your seedlings with a sheet or plastic for part of the day when you are not around. I'd hate to see all that work get destroyed so quickly.
