It is pretty much the month of May once this day is over and that means it is time for tilling.\u00a0 This obviously depends on the weather and normally I plan to till the garden in the month of May, but usually not the first day of the month.\u00a0 This year was a little bit different and I wanted to start as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Basically I wanted to get my new corn seeds in the ground as soon as possible and wanted to get a little bit head start on these seeds.\u00a0 Usually by mid May I am beginning to till the garden and setting up bean trellises, digging holes, etc.<\/p>\n

Since the weather is good enough and the soil is warm enough without the threat of a frost it is a good time to start planting at least my corn seeds.\u00a0 I want to get them in the ground right away and that is what I did this evening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also wanted to get a few more lettuce plants in the ground since tomorrow it is supposed to rain and I don’t want my plants staying in the containers for too long.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I pretty much planted at least one of each variety today.\u00a0 This will include all the types that I planted: iceberg, romaine, butterhead, and looseleaf.<\/p>\n

The good news is that my early lettuce plants that were added to the garden are just about ready for harvesting.\u00a0 I probably could have picked some of it today, but instead I think I am going to wait another day or so.\u00a0 This way I can start enjoying the first harvest of the season.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So far my indoor plants are growing quite well and the weather was quite warm this past weekend and I was able to put them outside to give them some fresh air.\u00a0 All I am waiting for is some consistent warm weather which should be coming soon to put them outside overnight.<\/p>\n

Once I keep them outside for an entire night I can then place them in the garden shortly after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
