New season’s planting
We did some tidying up of the garden today, and planted some lettuce, spinach, and mixed greens. Our garlic is coming up well, and the potatoes left from last year are coming back.
Winter garden blanket
We covered the garden with fallen leaves for the winter. We also planted garlic today.
Busy garden day
Today we had a busy day in the garden. We were harvesting, planting, watering, trimming, and weeding. We harvested the rest of our radishes and spinach as well as some lettuce, mesclun, and green onions. We planted some more lettuce, mesclun, and basil. We saw our first tomato today, not sure which variety it is though. I guess we’ll know soon enough. We can also see a bunch of strawberries and raspberries as well.
Lotsa planting today
Today we planted a bunch of stuff in the garden. Planting potatoes, garlic, multiplier onions, radishes, basil, green leaf lettuce, spinach, mesclun.
Tomatoes & Peppers
We started our tomato and pepper seeds indoors this past weekend in jiffy pots. This year we are hoping to foil the vegetable theives by planting unusual varieties of tomotoes: Taxi tomatoes (which are a light yellow colour) and Black Cherry. We are trying Jalapeno peppers for the first time. A few of our fellow Collingwood gardeners have had success with these.
Garden harvesting and planting
The cherry tomatoes on our deck are producing more and more fruit. We saw several more today. We also harvested the rest of our lettuce and some carrots and onions. We planted some more lettuce, hopefully they will be as successful as the last.
More greens please
Our garden greens are flourishing. Today we harvested some spinach, mixed greens, rhubarb, multiplier onions, and the rest of our radishes. We also planted lettuce in place of our radishes.
