Peas on Earth

 

Planted Green Arrow Peas on February 21st.

Covered the pea row through the cold snap, and let the henbit grow for the bees.

We had good rain and the peas came up pretty good

They are looking good April 6th

Got a row of Turnip flowers

Year of the Daffodil

 

 

Phlox in Full Bloom

 Update on our first phlox taken the Ides of March

We planted it in the old maple tree stump, along with some limestone,

 

The cage surrounds my new japanese maple, protected from the deer.  A review of all the daffodils will follow soon.  I have planted for the Anthropocene. 

Phlox and the Hell Cat

Green Roof in the Greenhouse

The "Greenhouse" now has a green roof extension on the window so we can start seeds earlier.

First Phlox

 Thanks Mom and Dad for the first Creeping Phlox to winter over at Buzzard Roost. 

We planted it on a hill by the old maple tree stump shown here with a big fungus.

Fungus growing out of maple tree stump.

Peas are Planted

 Peas were planted on Wednesday and they got a 0.4" of rain on Thursday.

No till pea row under hay mulch with dried vine fencing.

Turnips greens made it through the winter but no turnips still

Cilantro seeded in the fall and grew under a row cover.

Seed Order Is In

 

We ordered our slenderette green beans from Victory Seed Co this year as our regular supplier was out!

We grew different varieties of green beans last year, and slenderette did best of all in our soil.

We purchased the rest of our seeds from our regular supplier:  E&R Seed Co., 356 E 200 S,
Monroe, IN  46772.  (866) 510-3337  They are not online, and you have to get the old fashion catalogue (at the address above) and send your order in the snail mail with a check.  Just like the old days.
