Garden Update

Over the past several weekends, Joe and I have been hard at work on the gardens. The garden boxes and brick walkway are complete, the grids are laid, and the early spring plantings have been done. The potted garlic and onion have sprouted, along with a couple peas. Out of curiosity, I dug up a potato and was happy to see many little tubers and a shoot starting to grow.

Indoors, many of the replanted tomatoes are up. Other new things that have sprouted are dill, spring mix lettuce, romaine, zucchini, cantaloupe, squash, and chives. Several days ago I put some peas in a Ziploc bag with a wet paper towel. In a day or two, those sent out roots and this morning I planted them in the ground by the bird feeder. Hopefully those will be a nice distraction for the mourning doves at the garden begins to look more tempting.
