A Great Day To Plant !!!!

Sunday, March 9, 2014 - Waking up early and going outside in the garden is  the best way to begin any day. In my area, it is always so quiet and the only sounds heard are the birds and occasional car driving down the road.

Last week this time, we were preparing for a major snow storm with predictions of 10 - 12 inches hitting our area. We did luck out, only get 6 inches, but the cold and bitterness we had at the beginning of the week certainly helped enjoy this morning that much more.


Today I started my first planting of cool weather crops. I planted two types of peas, 3 types of lettuce, 2 types of spinach,  2 types of kale, 2 types of broccoli and cauliflower. This year I am experimenting with different types of seeds.  Also I am trying seeds which advertise which can be planted in the early spring and last throughout the summer.

This year I have decided to plant again another cycle of the above mentioned seeds a month from now. I am hoping during  the early spring and the beginning of the summer I will be able to enjoy all of these greens during the early part of the growing season.
