We are putting together a 10’x30′ enclosed growing space – several inches of wood chips that were laid down last year are turning into fertile soil. We’ve got a chain link fence enclosure around it to keep the critters out. Almost ready for planting!
We have five apples forming on the Fuji apple tree!
I got the strawberry plants going in the greenhouse — we’ve got a few more weeks with overnight freezes, but hopefully they will be cozy in here.
I think our honeyberry bushes are getting confused by the <12hr a day sunlight and warm temperatures … we’re getting flowers?! Picked them off so the plant wasn’t wasting energy.
Well, the cluster of five nuts I’ve been tracking are some of the nuts from the ground.
The cluster of hazelnuts I am tracking is almost ready …
We got most of the north side of the garden planted — watermelon and tomatoes are still in the greenhouse (sprouting)
Today, we planted (from West to East) haricot vert beans, a row of peas, sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes (Masquerade, Harvest Moon, and Sangre from W to E along the north side of the kale island, and Baltic Rose along the south side of the kale)
I finally got the dirt and mulch spread out in the northern side of the garden — there’s a nice island of kale in the middle, and the garlic we planted last year is growing well in the back. I’ve got potatoes and yams to plant, beans, peas, cucumbers, dill, and tomatoes. Hopefully lots and lots of tomatoes! Oh, and watermelon.
