I'm planning for Sunday. All it needs is a little tidying up and it will be ready for the first sowing of the peas and greens.
The rows were all heavily dunged late last fall. I wanted to add a fresh layer of wood chips, but my tree trimmer's wood chip dumping site has been cordoned off. I'm so bummed. I think I can make it through one more season with the layer of mulch I have. It just looks so nice with a fresh layer.
A true harbinger of spring, the Ramps, Allium triccocum, have appeared. It's a sign that it is time to plant the vegetable garden's first crops. These native wild onions are the traditional first greens of the season. We can eat us a mess of ramps while we wait for the roadside vegetable garden to get going.
Looks like you're back in business in a day or two. Old mother nature tried to thwart your progress, but you will prevail! I have some flower questions to ask you at a future date...when things start leafing out growing again. Forge ahead my friend!
ReplyDeleteI usually aim for St. Patrick's day for the first sowing of the greens. This year it seemed wise to wait a bit longer.
ReplyDeletePast time to plant here. It's been so cold. Friday is a good day to transplant here.
ReplyDeleteLove those ramps.
Enjoyed your link to "cultivating ramps: wild leeks of Appalachia"
