Carrots and Lettuce

Turned over the front-most third of the front garden and started the carrots and lettuce today.  Carrots say 70 days till harvest, lettuce says 48.

Change of plans - lettuce into a trough, two rows of carrots up front.

Seeds into Soil

So the Better Boys and Straight 8 cukes are now in soil, in cups.  Put 11 Better Boys and 39 cucumbers!  If they all come up maybe I'll give some to Mimsy.

Bought Seedlings Yesterday

Bought seedlings yesterday.  Eight small Better Boy tomatoes, four pricey Yummy Bell sweet peppers, four jalapenos, and cilantro.  I have seedlings now!  That was unexpected somehow.

Two Days Ago: Snow Peas!

Put the Snow Peas right into the ground (don't usually do that).  I used last year's seed packet and planted a bit thick, just to make sure something comes up.  They went in on March 28th.

Cats dug around a lot recently (bad kitties!).  But they missed the seeds.

Rain Barrel 1 is Deployed!

And I bought seeds.  I got Better Boy tomatoes, Straight Eight cukes, Simpson Elite lettuce, Burpee Hybrid A#1 carrots, and Kentucky Wonder pole beans.  Ready to start them ASAP!

And here's barrel one:

Last year I took a picture every once in a while to track the growth of things.  Here's today's picture.

Moved 'em

Moved some of the white aslyssum but sowed many more seeds from last year's seed stock.  White alyssum everywhere!

Also violently murdered the holly bush.  It's a male, there are no females around for it to pollinate, and frankly it's in my way.  Buh-bye.
