This week is supposed to be cool, but with high enough temperatures that I can start planting most of my cool weather seeds. I still have to plant the last of my seed potatoes and transplant my lettuce into the garden, but getting these four seeds into the garden is a big chunk of the cool weather season. (more…)
I got some tilling done yesterday which is mainly for the spring plants that I will be placing outside. Lettuce is one of those plants and the rest are going to be from seed. I will plant seeds of peas, radish, celery, and potatoes. (more…)
My tomatoes are ready to be started inside along with all my many other plants that I have began to plant. I will be growing the same types as last season with super sauce, steakhouse, and the wonderful and delicious cherry tomatoes.

It looks like that it is that time already to begin planting the main part of the garden indoors. Starting indoors I find to be the best solution for getting ahead of the game. Although space is limited I am still able to grow quite a bit before Spring weather arrives. (more…)
Today I only planted just about half of the potatoes that I had ordered. I didn’t want to plant all of them just in case the weather coming up is too cold and may have an adverse effect on them. I will try to plant the rest on a less windy day sometime at the end of March, but before April.
Since receiving my potatoes yesterday I needed to clean up the garden and get some holes dug before tomorrow. Luckily it only rained in the morning so I was able to clean up the garden, fix the net that surrounds the garden, and dig some holes for my potatoes. (more…)
I wasn’t expecting my new plants to arrive today because it is still early in the season and it has not warmed up to weather suitable for planting them. Luckily I probably could plant my potatoes because they will be placed in the ground protected by the soil. I could possibly plant my strawberries and when cold weather occurs I can cover them with row covers or similar material. (more…)
Now it is about time to start planting more flowers using small to medium sized pots. I have used large plastic containers for alyssum, dill, and wildflowers. These next flower seeds can be placed into smaller pots for individual growing. (more…)
Instead of waiting for the weekend I wanted to make sure that I got my dill into pots as soon as possible. I like to plant them around the same time as alyssum.
This weekend I will probably finish up with the other flowers that I need to grow. These flowers are going to go in small round containers that will only hold a few seeds and plants at the most. (more…)
Just wanted to update you on my progress of planting indoors. This is the first day of planting flowers which will be used throughout the garden.
This is the first time that I will be using the new wildflower mix indoors. I am going to be growing them the same way that I grow my alyssum using large plastic containers that will be able to hold plenty of plants. (more…)
