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.

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.

Christmas lettuce

 The Mesclun lettuce mix survived the cold snap.  The Simpson leaf did not.  Turnips are still yet to fruit, but they do not mind the cold.

Red Oaks

 The oaks were particularly colorful this year.  These photos were taken on November 9th, 2023
