Garden Update & the Weather

After the bit of rain we had over the past few days, I was happy to be able to get some work in the garden done today! I'm really happy about it too, because by the look of our 10 day forecast hopefully the seeds will get some much needed rain! There's still LOADS of work to do in the garden, but at least I've made a small dent.

Here's what got planted today:
Zinnias
Sunflowers
Onions (two types)
Spinach
Carrots
Radishes (two types)
A little bit of lettuce
A few broccoli (never grown here -- just a test)
A few cauliflower (never grown here -- just a test)
Peas
Garlic Chives

I didn't get tomato seeds started yet (I had hoped to get them started a month or more ago), so I will most likely just pick up a few plants at the store one of these days.

What's left?
Zuccihini
Cucumbers (several types)
Tomatoes
Beans
Squash
More Spinach!
More Radishes!
...what else? ... I'm sure I'm forgetting something...

Well look at you! What an improvement in "water" type conditions over last year. Aren't you forgetting a couple of different types of beans, though? Seemed like there was something purple planted last year. Here's wishing you luck again for this year's garden. It's got to fair better than last year's!!!

Aren't you the industrious gal! Wish we could start something here, today it's blowing like a tornado & cold. Hopefully we will get some rain to make it a little more tolerable. Hope your weather cooperates better this year for you! Hugs.

I know, you're forgetting to post the lay-out of your garden :) we're spoiled for that you know!!

[VivLyn]

Sounds wonderful! I hope your garden does well this year. It was very disappointing last year to not see all the goodies you'd grown. It's too early here for a garden but I don't even have the seedlings start, so it doesn't matter. I'm so bad!

Patty pan squash, right? Make sure you have some "rain dance" days scheduled for this year.

Eggplant, the Broccoli,Cauliflower may be good to experiment with in November? Oh my god! what I wouldn't do for a week or so with those temps sans the rain. It would dry out the permafrost in the driveway. As Red Green would say, "We're all in this together, I'm pullin for ya" But here I lean toward "keep your stick on the ice" it seems more suited to the locality....Love, Dad

I'm utterly envious of you that you can work in the garden already. I spent this afternoon wading around in snow and slush. Keep the garden updates coming. I'm happy for your rain after your horribly hot and dry summer last year.

Cheers!

YEAH :) Rain, blessed, rain! Let us hope this trend keeps up so you do not have another summer like the last one. :( We are pretty anxious to get in the garden. Even with the warmer than normal temps it probably is not a good idea to plant too early. Soon we can put in the peas and potatoes. Mmmm. Hugs....
