What Did You Do In The Garden?

[baibai]

It is a new season. What did you do in the garden today, yesterday, last week ?

Two backyard beds have been covered with the temporary hoop house. Seed for Asian greens and escarole has been sown; bok choy transplants have gone in. The flower beds around the house have been cleaned up.

I have now begun in the little veggie garden by leveling a few beds cultivated last year, fertilizing, and planting some seed potatoes, onion sets and pea seed.

What did you do in your gardens ?

I've planted Blueberry, grapes, and mulberries! In another area I have freshly planted a peach, apple, and pomegranate tree. (I call them pomegranate trees, don't hate me) Plus a bunch of different flowers, hoping something will take. Doing wildflower seed starters in a couple days

The neighborhood Oregon Grape (Berberis aquifolium) has just begun to bloom and serves as my prompt to plant peas and potatoes. The peas are in the ground but the seed potatoes have just a few sprouts. I may go out and dig some holes where they should go in this afternoon since it has stopped raining .

The Tiara cabbage and onions have gone to outdoor beds after several days of hardening off. Both look good. The onion seed was planted in the unheated greenhouse nearly 3 months ago. They join the pak choy and mustard greens that didn't fit into the hoop house. These rain clouds kept the temps quite a bit above freezing this morning, sprinkled a little moisture and continue to shield the transplants from the sunshine that shown on the other days this week.

The greenhouse finally made it to room temperature by 2 PM but the tomatoes and peppers are spending the day in the South Window. There is barely enough room for them but that opportunity is quite a contrast to years gone by when I would be pumping heat into the greenhouse at this time of year.

Wow, seeds & plants in the ground already. So lucky!

@digitS' Good job getting seeds planted. It is a warm spring and all the critters are out early too. The Good, Bad and the Ugly.

not quite yet here, but perhaps we're finally on the uptrend again.

The first of the beets, carrots and, oh yes, spinach seed in the ground. The spinach is near a board fence so some afternoon shade may help avoid premature bolting.
