Sunday, March 3 - It was a great weekend working in my vegetable garden Saturday. I decided to till my garden and then plant an early crop of cool weather vegetables.
I chose to plant 4 types of lettuce; Salad Bowl, Mesculin Mix, Black Seeded Simpson and Gourmet Mix. Also, I put in a small line of baby and olympia hybrid spinach, broccoli and kale.
It was great to get back in the garden but my planting did not stop outside. I did purchase a grow light system by Hydrofarm so I could begin some vegetables inside for planting around Mothers Day. With my inside planting, I started 6 type of tomatoes; golden nugget, sweetie, beefsteak, rutgers, roma and tomatillo.
Also I planted inside watermelon, cantaloupe, kale, purple basil and green and yellow squash.
This is the first time I have started seed inside with a grow light. I am excited to see how my plants will grow over the next few weeks.
Today, my wife and I went to the Philly Flower Show. This is the first time I have ever gone to this event and enjoyed this years theme England. The beautiful landscape display of flowers combined with the many vendors helped make this morning enjoyable.
