Planting Outside
Yes - two weeks since an update, but nothing much has been going on. The tree guys came this week and trimmed down the overhanging holly tree in the back yard, so I was finally able to start planting my beds in the back yard yesterday. I planted my purple and yellow fingerling potatoes in one bed. In the bed next to them I planted my cool weather crop seeds: snow peas, spinach, lettuce, shallots, and cabbage.
I also finally moved the artichoke. Actually I moved both artichokes (there were two). The smaller of the two went into the biggest planter that we have. The larger went into the not-yet-developed side bed along the fence bordering our next door neighbors.
As for my seeds - they are all doing well. Most things have come up. My tomatillo's aren't doing so hot, so I may need to re-plant those seeds. But other than that most of my seeds are doing well. Some of my tomato plant are about 6 inches tall at this point!
The front yard is doing great as well. The Zulu Prince daisy is getting a bunch of buds on it. The hosta's and lily-of-the-valley are starting to come back.
I have misplaced our camera, but hopefully it will be found soon so I can take some more pics.
