.
.... Spring Planting
Got in 1st beds of Beets, Radishes, Onion sets, and Peas.
This 1st planting is a full 5 weeks before expected last frost.
All chosen vegetables are listed as highly frost tolerant.
Rhubarb is coming up nicely! Never does great because is planted in the native crummy clay soil. Thinking about transplanting to dedicated raised bed along fence.
About time to start Squash and Cucumbers inside, for transplant in mid-May.
Also starting trays of Marigolds and Milkweed, will use Peat disk trays but add Miracle Gro liquid fertilizer.
Note - "Activate" Peat disks with boiling water, to expand and kill eggs, fungus or mold spores. Boiling water with Miracle Gro fertilizer mixed in?
Added extra heat to the grow tower ... finally, started the Peppers germinating! Will have to make SOP for subsequent years. Nearly all Pepper types have some seedlings with more showing up every day. Tomato varieties are nearly 100% germinated with 3 seedlings per peat pot square. Will maintain 1 Tomato plant per square but 2 Pepper plants per square, as recommended by ... someone, will have to confirm advisability ...
Correction - Plant single Pepper plants with a 12" spacing.
PS Fall planting of Garlic came up and is doing nicely.
