This usually is entirely K’s gig. I help browse through the catalogs during the winter when spring is just a dream, but that’s it. I’m in charge this season, with solid backup at least, and instructions on how many seeds to start to get the right number for our beds.
Below is oat and wheat grass, tabby cat grass, chamomile, sage, celosia, amaranth, bunny tails, cardinal climbers, cukes, two heirloom tomato varieties, two cherry tomato varieties, and eggplant.
Time and circumstance have meant I’ve had to step up my gardening game this season. I’m starting seeds, helping to clear the beds, and even transplanting this season. Since this is not normally my domain, I’m quite proud of each step I accomplish, so I thought I would celebrate here and keep a record.
Spring is here! Some late season snow and freezing weather has meant weird things for the early flowering plants. Our forsythia barely blossomed except at the tips, and same for the cherry tree. Bad news from our local orchard is that there were no peach blossoms – so no peaches!
We lost our cream legbar Mabel yesterday. She’d had a persistent sinus infection with swelling and the vet concluded she had a tumor. We will miss her high-stepping around! She joins the flock on the other side and will be in good company.
