Spent President's Day planting the rest of our seeds. This round we started Beets, Carrots, Peas, Snow Peas, Zucchini, Summer Squash, White Squash, Pickling Cucumbers, White Cucumbers, Double Yield Cucumbers, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Swiss Chard, Brussel Sprouts, Scallions, Green Beans, Hot Wax Peppers, Kale, Arugula, Mesclun, Leaf Lettuce, and Head Lettuce.
The first set of seedlings are doing really well, as you can see. And you can also see our lemon tree! A wedding gift which we plan to plant next to our two apple trees.
It was a gorgeous weekend here ... warm and even sunny for a bit. Everything is in bloom! Our Camelia bush is about to explode with bright red flowers. In February!
How come you're not growing chickens?
ReplyDeleteI'd check in with Mary or Seamus about their lemon trees before planting. They've both kept them indoors during the winter to protect them. Keeping it in its pot for a year or two might toughen it up before taking it outside.
ReplyDeleteDan, don't be silly. Everybody knows you don't start chicken seedlings until two weeks before you plant them outside. And, Erik, we had planned on toughening up the lemon tree by hurling insults at it while comparing it to all the other lemon trees. That's how we do in NYC.
