Gardening Floyd: "...The Season's Spinning 'Round Again,...

...The Years Keep Rollin' By."

Michael planted 70 leek seeds back on February 12th.  I planted my first seeds today for transplanting next month into the early spring garden.
I planted:
40 "Packman" broccoli
24 "Stonehead" cabbage
24 "Wawa Tsai" Chinese cabbage
24 "Amazing" cauliflower

The salad tubs are gone from the winter salad shelf and it's been transformed back into seed starting mode.  Learn how to set up your own shelf here.

Gardening Floyd: Mid-April

The garden is beginning to look like a garden again!  We've had lots of rain, hail, and high winds, even some tornadoes which are unusual in the Blue Ridge Mountains but we've also had warmer temperatures.  The plastic is off three of our hoop houses (Mother Nature insisted in the form of wind), the earliest spring and cool weather crops are growing well, and the herbs are coming along nicely.
