The rain is getting to everyone. Last year we were late planting because we had to literally start from scratch, but this year it has been hard to find more than one day in a row to get planting. The good news is I have been able to gradually build up my leg and arm muscles so I can still walk and feed myself at the end of the day. When you garden for 8 hours muscles you didn't even know were there will hurt.
My husband comes home this weekend and I am so excited to get some help.
Even with the rain and pain and no ball and chain I have planted quite a few rows and have had things come up and if they don't float away then it should be a bountiful harvest.
We have planted so far spinach (sprouting)
arugula (sprouted)
beets
carrots
beans (yellow and green)
anise
chamomile
parsley
roma tomatoes (started inside)
ground cherries (started inside)
peas ( about 2 inches up so far)
Sounds like a lot but there isn't even a dent in what needs to be done. If the sun ever comes out I will take a picture of my progress.
Spring
The beautiful weather has given us a head start. Let's hope Jack Frost doesn't pay us a visit.
Sounds great! You're ahead of me by about a mile!! I just have peas, arugula, chard and some mesclun in. Everything is up except the mesclun - I'm wondering if it got waterlogged....
