Another Apron

I made another apron today. This one is for Mom. I didn't have a pattern for what I wanted, so I just winged it. It turned out nice.

Sewing

I made myself a new apron today. It was fun to get back to sewing.

Sweet Potatoes

My sweet potato plants came today. They are mostly dead. I will baby them for a few weeks before transplanting outside.

Beans

I planted pole beans today - only 12 hills. It won't be enough to can for the winter, but every little bit helps. Reseeded the corn where large patches haven't come up yet.

Planting Time

We got the garden planted yesterday - most of it anyway. I will wait another week or two before I put out my peppers and tomatoes.

Corn - 6 1/2 rows
Beans - Red Kidney - 6
             Jacob's Cattle Pinto - 9
             Great Northern - 9
             Coco Rubico - 9
             Derby Bush - 60
Peas - Sugar Snap 2 rows 8 ft long
           Karina - 2 rows 15 ft long
Cabbage - 40 (out of 72 seeds started)
Onions - Walla Walla
               Super Star
               Candy Apple Red
Potatoes - Kennebec - 5 hills with 3 in each
                 Yukon Gold - 4 hills with 3 in each
Garlic - (will check count when they come up more)

We got the Herb Garden area dug out and the box put in place. I need to find some compost to finish filling it up. I purchased a sweet basil, stevia, and sweet mint plant. I still need to find several additional herbs for this area.

It was a beautiful day for gardening, the first rain-free day in weeks. It strated raining late last night so the garden is now well watered.

Mrs. B

I moved some plants to larger pots today. Out of 72 cabbbage seeds planted, 42 have been transferred. 6 brussel sprouts out of 9 survived. Some tomatoes are transplanted, but most are not ready. The lettuce and radishes are slowly growing. I need to order more lettuce seed for the remaining salad trays. I think I will also order some head lettuce and romaine seed. The rain doesn't seem to stop.

Spring is here!

I am grateful for Spring!

Signs of Spring from around the homestead:

Violets - my absolute favorite

Lilac buds - my second favorite

Baby helicopters - Maple tree seeds

My salad tray - radishes on the left, scattered leaf lettuce on the rest.
