We finally managed to get some work done outside yesterday, but it’s snowing again today. It’s almost the end of April, but winter just won’t go away. Luckily we got a row of Pole Peas planted along the side of the house yesterday before it started snowing.
I tested all the sprinklers yesterday… we didn’t have any broken heads this year! So we have pressure in the system now, but there’s no reason to turn the system on with all the rain and snow we’re still getting.
A garden blog isn’t as much fun without pictures, but our camera isn’t in working order after a recent trip to San Diego. But I’ve decided to blog anyway, because a blog isn’t much of a blog without posts… boring or not.
All of the starts in the kitchen are doing really well, just waiting for it to warm up enough outside to be transplanted. All 20 of the Ed Hume Heirloom Tomatoes came up and are doing well. All 10 of the Ed Hum Tomatillos came up and are doing well. Of the 20 Lily Miller Peppers, only 4 have come up so far. Of course, peppers take much longer to get started, so that’s probably the reason they’re behind.
We also started 14 Roma Tomatoes that are doing well. We planted 2 Cantaloupes and 4 Watermelons that have sprouted. And we have 2 Giant Pumpkin starts looking good. I just hope all these things can get moved outside before they overrun their containers. (A few pictures would go nicely here.)
