Cutting Potatoes and Placing them in Rows in the Garden

Now that it is the middle of April and soil is no longer frozen it is time to till part of the garden and add some cool spring crops. Three things were added to the garden yesterday. These include seed potatoes, peas, and radishes. These three crops are always sown directly into the garden and are not normally transplanted from pots or containers. I will probably start adding my spinach and lettuce plants into the garden next. These crops were grown indoors first and they have been outside for quite some time and are just about ready to be transplanted.

Potatoes Planted in 20 Foot Row

Potato Planting and Some Extra Spring Crop Seeds Added to Garden

Although potatoes should be planted a little bit earlier in the month of April they still have time to grow and possibly get a harvest for the summer. Weather conditions are still cool and wet which should help them out before the hot months of summer arrives. I was able to get a twenty foot row with just five pounds of seed potatoes. This should be enough for the season as long as they take to the soil well.

Planting In the Rain and Update on Outdoor Garden Plants

Sorry for the long period for a blog post, but I have plenty of things to discuss. This month has brought many rain storms and really windy days and made it difficult to till some of the garden soil and get some spring seeds planted. I finally had a good day to get the soil mixed this week and decided to plant peas, radishes, and sunflowers today even though it was cloudy, rainy, and windy. I couldn’t wait any longer to get these seeds into the ground.

Strawberries are Ready Along With Radishes

It looks like the very first harvest of the season comes from my strawberries and radishes. It is the month of June and since these are June bearing strawberries it makes sense that they would be ready during this month. Radishes could have been picked earlier, but I still get some good sized vegetables from yesterday’s harvest. (more…)

Getting the Net on the Blueberries and Soon Strawberries

It looks like this might be a long post since I have not written one in quite awhile and I want to keep you up to speed with my garden progress. I have not planted everything into the garden just yet, but I only have a few more seeds and transplants left. I plan on finishing this week, weather permitting of course. Let’s get into what has been going on in my garden. (more…)

First Row Digging for Peas and Radishes

I have only planted my onions outside, but today it was about time to get some more spring stuff in the ground.  Peas and radishes usually grow well together and I always put them in the same row.  The weather is still cool, but these plants will be able to tolerate these types of temperatures.

The First Radishes Harvested

Wanted to give you a heads up on some of the first radishes I picked this year.  This was a vegetable I wanted to try and was something that I could grow during the spring.  Since it has been a cool spring they ended up coming out pretty good. (more…)

Many Things Happening in The Garden

It has been quite awhile since I wrote my last blog post, but weather has not been cooperating and many things needed to be completed before the month of June.  In this post I will fill you in on what has been going on including some updates on my plants. (more…)

Radishes and Peas Now Sprouting

A quick update on some of the seeds I had planted in the garden a couple of weeks ago.  Both my peas and radishes are now showing signs of life with some sprouting within the rows.  Let’s take a look at what they look like when they first pop up through the soil. (more…)
