March 23 Treasures from a Walk in the Rain

 

March 23 Seedling Update

Not terribly happy with my seed starter mix this year - went with Dutch Treat with the addition of Vermiculite ...... but the mix seems way too fine,  heavy and wet, not light and fluffy

some Music garlic bulbils at the left, mixed kale in the middle and Black Prince snapdragon on the right - the snaps are proving very difficult to grow

Lillian's cross ..... 18 seeds planted, so not great germination so far ...... still a bit early to pick out the dwarfs .... but I'm thinking four

March 22 Beds 10/11 and 64

Winter mulch of leaves has been dug into raised beds ...... now just waiting for compost to arrive to top dress; I have read various thoughts on what to do with leaves in the spring - here I dug them in , but added them to the compost bin at my home garden

March 21 Spring is Here

 the soft colours of early spring buds

March 19 'R' Garden

quick check in at my community garden plot ....... 

rhubarb, so beautiful - Canada Red and it actually looks red this year!!

the joys of a community garden - someone decided to snap of the top of my plant ..... I took the rest :-)

Brussels sprouts didn't make sprouts - wonder if the leaves are tasty?

and the overview of the plot

March 19 Back Forty

Last day of winter and the back forty is coming to life

cleared the leaf much from the small garden and fed the garlic (green shoots in back) with Gaia 4-4-4 then topped entire garden with finish compost; the tulips are starting to show buds ......

Santee sprouting broccoli almost ready to harvest - these are amazing roasted

a call out to Spring ........

container bulbs looking good and the violas have started to bloom after their winter rest

more bulbs, peony yet to emerge and alpine strawberry ...... blueberry (far right) has never been happy here, perhaps time to replant
