Well then--once a month is better than nothin--
Down to 3 trays to plant--hope to have them in by Jun 21rst end of spring--
Garden harvests include--lettuces, baby beets (including new Bull's Blood stripy beat--much brighter than the chioggia), kale, snow,shell and sugar snap peas, turnips(yellow ball turnips are neato), of course ORACH, mignonette strawberries, yellow snow peas, radishes are done:( although the rattail radishes are just coming now.
The allotment has 21 different kinds of winter squash and pumpkin planted and almost all have come up--also hopi red and golden grain amaranth and blue corn around the walking stick kale.
The gourds are just coming up and only decent germination of the beans so far--garbanzos have come up nice tho.
At home the earwigs are back in force eating everything the get near. Fortunately I have a roadblock of the dwarf sugar peas keeping them from one side of the garden. The ate all my freaking cucumbers--Fark--had to reseed.
Froze some spinach--looks like the viraflay has Much longer staying power than the corrente or the bloomesdale. The Super Sugar Snaps are the clear winner along with the dwarf grays. Yellow snows are doing pretty well. Again none of the shell peas have done that well. One variety is doing okay -- my map got completely wiped out by a nighttime rainstorm--left it out over night==-=ughy! Many of the summer seeds were out too!!! Must have been nearly 50 packs of seeds out in the rain -- terrible! Don't know whether they're all ruined or not. Either way it was a gardening calamity.
Anyway--hope to get everything else in on Sunday and monday nights after the Buffalo Creek Tri.
more soon--or at least sooner
