Here’s my vegetable garden. I love the spring…..the ground is so rich and brown!
Last Tuesday we ate the last of the onions I planted last year. I set down twice as many this year but I have a few weeks to wait. The garlic is gone too so I doubled up on those. I want enough left over to plant in spring next season.
I planted the tomatoes today. It may be a bit late to do so but I am hopeful. This year I am focusing on mostly Speckled Romas. I will also plant some other varieties, but these Romas are my favorites.
The potatoes are doing well and I am actually pretty amazed that they are doing as well as they are. The only ones that have not really taken off were the ones that I tried to grow in a black plastic bucket. So I dug out all the nasty dirt and refilled it with a more fluffy mixture and one volunteer potato plant to see if I could try it again in a container. Rows, hills and containers. Next, I need to get a bail of hay to use as hill mounding. I really like the idea of having a supply of garlic, onions, potatoes all grown by me in our ground. No poisons, just honest dirt.
