Garden-19(20)

For some reason my gardening activities have been a bit more focused this year.

We planted hundreds of garlic bulbs last fall because the weather and availability made it impossible for us to plant at Copper Hill Farm:

The asparagus bed is due for its first year of full production:


We’ll see.

We’ve got four beds of onions and other such things:

The peas are in:


We planted lettuce and spinach last week:

The strawberry plants and the lone blueberry bush may give us a few berries here and there as usual:


We’ve got seedlings going out to the mini-greenhouse on sunny days, and sitting on little heating pads the rest of the time. We over wintered some pepper plants which worked well last year:


We’ll get grapes for sure. Peaches, probably. Apples? Doubt it. We’ve started growing potatoes in pots.

My neighbor has a plot almost the same size as ours that he allows to fill with weeds every summer. As soon as we go into lockdown I plan to ask him if we can plant some veggies there; it gets more sun than our space:

We’ve got the seeds. We could grow a lot of food on that lot of land.
