Sunday - April 13, 2008

Filed Under Garden Desk, Vegetable Garden 

Weather:

Beautiful close to 70°, windy this morning and overcast this afternoon.  The snow is melting quite quickly now.  I can’t believe how fast it has melted these two days. 

Plantings:

Direct Sowed:

  • Spinach
  • Radishes
  • Snap Peas

Activities:

I cleaned out the raised beds, which was pretty easy.  There is garlic coming up where I planted it last October.  I cleaned up the tomato plants that I didn’t remove last fall.  Clipped back the herbs.  There is still a lot to do and my strawberries look pretty sorry right now, so I hope that they look better when I get back.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

This will probably be my last post before I go to California.  So see around the 27th of April. We are supposed to have some rain for the next couple of days which will be good news.
