Haven’t had a minute to post anything! Been in full go mode lately. Hustled to get a whole bunch of crops direct seeded ahead of the rains we got last week. Seeded the brassicas (radishes, cabbage, turnips, rutabaga, arugula, kale, broccoli, cauliflower), long beets, carrots, parsley, cilantro, round beets, dill, and parsnips. All of these have better germination rates when we get a mix of sun and rain. Usually I get them in the ground by mid to end of May… but life got in the way this year.
Seeded the zucchinis, pattypans & winter squash (sugar pumpkins, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, buttercup, butternut & kabocha squash) just after the rains. I think they’ll like the heat now.
Transplanted some lettuce and sunflower starts.
Busy prepping more beds, pulling weeds, hilling potatoes, adding wood chips to walkways, and starting more veggie and flower seeds in trays. Next to be direct seeded will be beans & corn. So much to do right now and such a short window to do it.
