Time to Catch-up!

 Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme!!  The herbs continue to flourish in the garden!

We learned something important during March:  do NOT transplant beets in the middle of the day when temperatures have soared to 95 degrees!!  (Not our normal spring weather!)  They all but died!!  If we would have transplanted in the evening, they would have been MUCH happier!!  As it is, they have started to come back pretty well, so we will have beets, but not as early as originally planned!


TRAUMATIZED BEETS...


We had great helpers plant tomato seeds, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, cantaloupe and watermelon!!  

We are trying something new at the garden:  I pre-soaked 4 packets of tomato seed, then put each packet of seeds onto a moistened paper towel, folded it up, and placed in a plastic bag for a few days.  The seeds have sprouted, and we planted a "square" of seeds (including the paper towel) in "bowls" at the garden.


Let the growing begin!!
