The weather warmed up and the temps are supposed to be in the 50's at night for the next several days, so today, I took the opportunity to plant some stuff out in the garden. I sowed some pea seeds-Sugar Snap and Lincoln, and transplanted a bunch of lettuce-Iceberg, Romaine and Buttercrisp along with Bright Lights Swiss chard. I pulled up the broccoli plants that had stopped producing side shoots and replanted more broccoli and cabbage in their places. I filled six 4x4 beds with seeds and plants and it felt great! I also got a small amount of my seed garlic planted in some large planters. Tomorrow, I need to finish planting all the garlic, shallots, leeks and onions. I'm about six weeks late planting the garlic but I kept it in the fridge so hoping it will still bulb up.
I think I will also plant the potatoes tomorrow. Last year I planted in mid February, but thinking if I planted a little early, I might be able to harvest before it gets wet in the spring. I may have to cover them if we get some late freezes, but a lot of locals plant in January (or earlier), so I'm giving it a try.
While I'm out there, I'll have the kids plant carrots and radishes, too. Busy planting weekend in the Sanctuary Garden!
No pictures today, it was dark by the time I finished so I'll snap a few in the morning.
Have a good night:)
