Started the planting of the gardens. Found any seeds that suggested early spring and workable soil, and planted them. Hopefully I will have better luck this year, planting early. Have the Salad wine barrel full of seeds for salads and even have some peas in there.
For all of my pea varieties I just put the pots I had in the ground and planted the rest of the seeds for all of them right next to them. For the ones in the long garden I put a couple of my tomato racks up, and put the pots on the inside of the rack and the seeds on the outside so I can see which actually come up. I am hoping that the cooler evenings might arouse them enough to sprout. Only the Snowbird variety had one sprout out of 20 seeds. Not sure if it is the constant temp in the grow room or just old seeds.
I got rid of a number of seed packs this round. I emptied a number of packets that had a lot of seeds in them, but planted most too close so I plan on weeding out what shouldn't be there. I am hoping for a fuller wine barrel, I have some seeds left like the lettuce, rhubarb swiss chard, and one pack I didn't even plant yet because it is too early. So I might still be able to fill the barrel up.
The garlic is showing their leaves. I was getting kind of worried that I planted them to close to the top. It looks like there is one that is practically on top of the soil and it seems to have sprouted. I planted the peas pretty closed to them, hopefully they won't mine. Definitely going to keep an eye on them though, as I don't want them to bolt, I know there are a few other things I planted today that I need to make sure I stay on top of.
The only thing I think I could have planted and didn't was the onions. Reading the packet it says after the last frost, to I figured I should wait. Was going to try putting out half of them and see what happened, but didn't. Might still, if talked into it and if I do I will post up about it.
