Yesterday, I transplanted all the zucchini sprouts into their own, individual pots. I ended up with 14 potted zucchini plants. One of them had gotten large enough that I probably should've done the transplant sooner, as I ended up breaking some of its roots. We'll see if it survives.
And last night, I left all the zukes and the carrots out. I think we're past all chances of freezing now. They're sheltered under the eaves on the deck because I knew it was going to rain all night and all day today. I don't think they're old enough to handle that much extra water. Anyway, I went out and checked on them this morning and they all seem to be doing fine.
I had a dream last night wherein my mother was asking me if I was ever going to transplant the tomatoes. Umm, yah. I do plan to do that soon. But I need more dirt.
The lettuce seeds I planted on the 22nd starting showing sprouts yesterday. 5 days from planting to sprouting. Yay. The new carrot seeds haven't made an appearance yet. But they're outside now, too, so maybe that will encourage them to poke their heads up.
Part of me wants to plant some other stuff. Spinach maybe. I do love me some fresh spinach. Potatoes? Strawberries? We'll see. This is already a lot of work, so I may not get too far afield of what I've already done.
If you could plant anything you wanted, what would you plant? What are some of your favorite fresh produces?
I did onion sets one time. Didn't kill them so they're pretty hardy. I like fresh spincach but growing my own? Yah...no. There are times I wish I had a herb garden but I don't have a sunny window in the kitchen and if I did one outside, the dogs would pee on it. Ah well.
ReplyDeleteI admire your gardening acumen. I'm too lazy, which is the bottom line.
