Tomato, Pepper and Basil Seedlings

Celebrity and Super 100 Tomato

The only thing to write home about in the Spring garden is Spinach! I don't usually have much luck with Spinach direct sowing. I think I will start spinach in pots from now on instead of direct sow. The bok choy and the peas look terrible having not survived our spring drought. We finally got 2.35 inches April 27 & 28.

Spinach for Dinner!!!

Seedlings Planted and Flowers in Bloom

Peas were planted last week along with all the seedlings we started in the greenhouse last month.

We have been watering with the hose, but finally got a rain in the overnight (0.27 inch).

The daffodils and hellebores are blooming profusely.

Two rows of peas and two rows of spring greens.

Seedlings Up

Cabbage seeds have sprouted today as we reached 80F today. Must be a warm spot, as I found Ms White sleeping there.

Garden 2026

Spring Seedlings

The cold, snowy winter of 26 is finally over, a long cold icy winter. (Although snow may fall tonight, the next day is forcasted to be warm and will melt any snow or ice quickly) We enjoyed 70F temperatures on the last day of February, and got into the greenhouse to plant seeds. These are lettuce, spinach and bok choy seeds. These seeds were for the Fall 25 Fall garden, but we had such a drought we did not plant a fall garden. We usually do sow them in the fall as they grow much better than spring.

The Red Wing Blackbirds have returned to the pond. We had a hillbilly fire in the evening to view the planet alignment. But all we saw, due to clouds, was Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. Moon put on quite a show with the largest halo I ever saw, but it doesn't really show in photo.
