Contrary to the fact that the home improvement stores have transplants of every kind and shape available, our first frost free day is April 15th. We have seen snow in late March and early April.
That is not to say that we don't have things to grow. We currently have eight boxes of Sugar Snap peas, five buckets of broccoli, 2 boxes of cauliflower, two boxes with lettuce, two boxes of cabbage,two boxes with spinach, and two boxes with herbs. Everything is doing well and our broccoli is forming heads and side shoots.
Our order for Parks Nursery was large this year and I have new ways to start seedlings this year. I pulled entirely too many "biodegradable peat pots" and peat pellets. The system I ordered from Parks will be subsidized with an order from Johnny's seeds and a few items from Burpee. This garden is going to give more vegetables this year.
As everyone knows, a real garden is always a science experiment.
