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 [...] Wow, what a difference in the garden since my last entry of 3 weeks ago. The garden has really taken off, especially the warm season veggies. I started harvesting broccoli on June 6th (YUM!!), which is at least several weeks earlier than normal. The cabbage loopers/worms have returned, so I have started spraying with bt. [...] The mid-May garden is doing well and you can almost see daily growth from the plants. Generally, the garden seems to be slightly ahead of a normal year. The lettuce is growing very well and harvest continues about 3 times a week. Harvest will start soon on more green onions and a few radishes. The weather [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Sorry for the long time between posts. I have been busily planting and harvesting my garden since my last post. The garden is fully planted and is looking pretty good for this time of year. The only real issue I have had is poor germination on my green beans. I suspect it was caused by [...] |
