The weather here in Central Indiana has been very hot, but at least it has rained enough to keep the garden producing without much supplemental watering. The tomatoes have produced a decent harvest despite the leaf disease. I was able to put up 7 containers of tomato sauce a few days ago. There are still [...]

Happy Independence Day!! While we enjoy our cookouts and fireworks today, please remember that freedom is not free. Take a moment to pray for all of our active duty military personnel and our veterans and make sure to thank them for their service. The onions were pulled up this morning and are now drying over hardware [...] 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, [...] Summer harvesting is really underway now. The weather has finally turned more summer like. 5 days ago a bad storm went through the Indianapolis area and blew down all of the corn. As it turns out it was not all bad news as the corn was nearly ready to harvest anyways. There was one good quality [...] |
