I finished transplanting cabbage, broccoli, and brussels sprout seedlings out into the garden between April 20-23. The spring lettuce is growing really well and harvest will probably start within the week (see pic below). It has been a really good spring so far for growing lettuce. The weather has been unseasonably warm and dry for [...]

The weather here in Central Indiana so far this spring has been fabulous. The temperatures have been in the 70’s and 80’s over the past 5 days or so with dry conditions. The red bud trees are now in full bloom. It is quite a bit cooler today, with a frost/freeze expected tonight. With all [...] First for a quick planting update. The weather here in Central Indiana has been fabulous for the last 5 days with sunny skies and warmer than normal temperatures. Potatoes were planted in both of the raised beds on March 27th. Onions were received on March 29th and planted on March 31st (see below) and peas [...] The spring seed starting is going full out right now. All of the seeds for lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, celery, and fennel have germinated and are now in the cold frame. The seeds I saved from the Sierra lettuce last year germinated really well for me (I guess that was a successful experiment!). I [...] I started 72 lettuce plants on February 28th. Most of them have germinated and were moved to the cold frame. On March 7th, I started 18 broccoli, 12 cabbage, 12 brussels sprouts, 12 celery, and 6 fennel plants. I will be planting pepper seeds in about another week. The weather has been nearly perfect the [...] My cold frame was put up over a small portion of one of the garden beds last Sunday, February 20th. I plan on starting some lettuce seeds in 2 more days, depending on the weather. If the weather forecast continues to look very cold into the latter part of next week, I might hold off [...] I ordered all of the extra seeds I need for this year’s garden a few days ago. Now the agonizing wait for warmer weather starts. I am really looking forward to spring this year!! I will be putting up the cold frame in a few weeks and as long as the weather is not too cold, [...] Well, it is probably about time for the mid-season garden progress report. The spring garden was a success. Most of the spring crops did well, despite all of the heavy rain. The spring crops that have been harvested include lettuce, green onions, broccoli, and peas. Side shoot harvest continues on the broccoli. The spring planted [...] The weather has turned hot, but it has still been rather wet. Despite the heat and the rain, the garden is growing well. The official first day of summer (Summer Solstice) begins tomorrow. Broccoli harvest began on June 12th. The broccoli heads are maturing fast with all of the heat. The pea harvest began on June 13th, with more [...] The garden this time of year grows very fast. The weather has been relatively warm and it rained nearly an inch a few days ago. This spring has been very wet, but all that means is that I have not had to water much. Despite the wet conditions, all plants seem to be growing well. I [...] |
