Just an update on my gardening activities:
Yesterday marked exactly six weeks until St. Patrick's Day. That's the day I plan/hope to plant potatoes and onion sets. Last year I planted Viking Purple and Yellow Finn mini-tubers from Irish Eyes Garden Seeds down the middle of a 3' x 20' bed or wide row. I think that this year I will just get whatever seed potatoes they have at the local grocery store, just for the sake of economy.
I also plan to start some broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and chard today to be ready to transplant out on or around St. Paddy's. That's awfully early, but I think if I harden them off properly that they'll have a good chance. I might get a row cover by then to help protect them from cold and insects. And I could always just wait until April to transplant if the weather won't cooperate.
Sorry this blog is so boring. I'm working on re-acquiring the ability to post photos (long, dull story...don't ask) with the hope that some images will jazz things up a bit.
That's all for now. Have a great day!
