Late Start, but a start.
|
Wandered down to the local hardware & gardening store "McLendon's" , they actually have a pretty nice greenhouse/nursery and selection of gardening supplies. I picked up some Oregon Star slicing tomatoes, a Brandywine tomato and some Navidad grape tomotoes. I'm a little bummed that I didn't get started on some Stupice that Kim gave me, but I have a plan for next year! I also picked up a fennel plant and 4 banana pepper plants. I got all of them planted yesterday! YAY!!!!! I just hope they do better than last year. I think I got things in earlier this year. Tim cleared my little raised bed where the garlic & asparagus were going to go but I'm seriously rethinking it. Not sure about the asparagus, the seeds I planted & grew last year in the pot are actually growing again this year, so they'll be 2 years old. I just can't decide if I want to grow it. I get mixed messages the pros say you can't grow asparagus here and yet I know a few gardeners that have no problem. Anyway, I think I'll plant the garlic as planned (I know, I'm late or early, what can I say.) and a few rows each of carrots and radishes. Oh yea, I also got a cilantro plant to put in with the rest of the herbs. It looks real nice now. Hmm..except I don't the basil is going to do very well. The sage, thyme, and parsley I put in the cedar box are doing great at least. I have a few other things planned for planting. I'll post when I get them done. :-) I'm going to get what I need to make a huge 18x25 garden space for next year. So I need to buy 12 inch wide board and as long as I can get. Then I'll start filling it up with dirt and maybe plant some winter grains, fava or something. It'll be great! |
