Yesterday seemed like the perfect day to put out my first tomato transplants of the spring. The soil in my raised beds was still cool and moist from the recent rains, and the forecast for the week is for mostly cloudy days in the low 70s and moderate nights in the mid 60s. More rain is a good possibility later in the week as well.<\/p>\n
I also transplanted some foxgloves, summer savory, greek basil, and thai basil from the greenhouse. All of the seedlings in the greenhouse are doing extremely well this year. I have snapdragons, pansies, mealy sage, greek oregano, cilantro, foxgloves, tomatoes, sweet alyssum, licorice mint, greek basil, thai basil, and blue flax ready to transplant now, and I started my next set of warm weather plants yesterday. The next crop will feature several types of heirloom tomatoes, tomatillos (purple and green), several types of sweet and hot peppers, zinnias, vincas, cosmos, and petunias, poppies, and perennial lupines.<\/p>\n
The plants in the yards and garden beds are also doing very well this year. The mild winter, coupled with some decent rainfall, has gotten this spring off to a wonderful start. I’m loving the early onset of DST this year, it is great having time to get out to the garden for a couple of hours after work every day.<\/p>\n
I will take some pictures of everything I decribed above in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n
Happy spring everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
