The Garden Chronicles

Last weekend work in the main garden continued.

There was clean-up of sunflower stalks that were left standing over winter for feeding of the resident birds.


This patch of dirt is slated for reseeding back to grass but as long as it is clear for the present I'm going to till it up and plant something into it.

Not sure just yet - maybe gourds or pumpkins.  Maybe something else.  We'll see.

The new raised bed got a dose of a couple bales organic peat moss and four bags of organic manure compost.

Tilled it in and planted four and a half rows of onions - one row of sweet and the balance yellow.  Cabbages went in too.

The raised bed garden is at three-fifths capacity.  Four rows of potatoes, four and a half rows of onions and a half-row of cabbages.

Hardening-off the tomato and pepper plants. 

Beans, cukes, lettuce and more are on deck...
