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 [...] The potatoes were harvested in both raised beds and also from the fabric bag on June 12th. Overall harvest from the two raised beds were good. Nine seed potatoes were planted in each raised bed. In one of the beds, a combination of Red Norland and Yukon Gold were planted, and the other just Yukon [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] The garden was visited by ole Jack Frost on October 11th. Most of the plants that I wanted to save were covered with row covers, but some of the ends of the green beans were still nipped a little (low temps did not get below freezing, which is good). The garden continues to produce very [...] My early fall garden continues to produce a nice harvest. The garden finally received some much needed rain. The weather continues to be somewhat cooler than normal. There was some frost last week in parts of central Indiana, but my garden luckily avoided any frost. Harvest begins today on some of the August planted broccoli [...] |
