To all my Gardening Friends up North, please forgive me....
What a beautiful weekend with temperatures reaching into the 70's it is hard to believe it's still February. I spent Saturday morning in the Haven garden and the rest of the day in mine.
Saturday
The main project for this weekend was moving the arch away from bed 3 to give me a little more space to get to the back of the bed. This meant removing the strawberry bed linked to bed 5. The berries are not doing very well in this area so they and the bed were removed so the arch could be moved over giving me more room. The photos below are the progression of the project.

The carrots that I started in cell packs and transplanted into bed 2 are doing so well. So well in fact I started a second sowing for bed 3. This might be my best carrot year to date.

The pak choy is staring to take shape. This is the first time I have tried to grow pak choy and am pleased at how easy they are to grow.

Sunday was all about seedlings. I potted up peppers and cucumbers. Fed them as well as the tomatoes with a weak solution of fish emulsion.

After tending to the seedings I planted the onion sets in bed 4 but first I added soaker hoses to the row.

ReplyDeleteThomas - Thank you. I do have one small advantage... no snow. The weather has been good but we could use some more rain.
ReplyDeleteYou've made such great use of a fairly small space! Looking forward to seeing your harvest this year.
