The tomato seedlings are coming along well. I transferred them to larger pots today. I have 5 cherry tomatoes, and 8 Livingston. The Beefsteak are not as big and I don’t have room for larger pots, so I didn’t transfer them yet. I need to put up another light shelf. I will want to start [...]
Planted snap peas from Botanical Gardens, (last years seeds) and shelling peas (from Freedom Seeds, ordered last year) on Saturday. Covered them with milk carton greenhouses because it is going to be frosty the next few nights. Also, I believe last year the birds and/or squirrels ate a lot of my pea seeds! I pre-sprouted [...]
The garlic and onions look a little frosted, maybe I should have covered them up with something. Today I planted the red and white potatoes from organic potatoes that had sprouted, and spinach and lettuce from freedomseeds.org.
I planted my garlic shoots and moved some onions that were left from last year. Worked on the large garden area.

More work in the garden today – Worked on the strawberry bed and expanded it, moving some plants around – hope I didn’t kill them! Moved over the compost pile so that a new bed was created that I will plant peas and lettuce in. Put up the lattice for the peas. I left a [...]
Today was sunny and warm (55 degrees high). Jack kept wanting to spend time outside. I went out for a little bit with him a couple times this morning, but I told him “I have work to do” and made us come back inside. He doesn’t do “alone”, he has to have someone with him [...]
