If you've found your way to this blog in hopes of finding helpful gardening hints and tricks,
This is my first attempt at a large-scale vegetable/herb garden and I invite you along for the ride, but pack some Dramamine because it's inevitably going to be a bumpy one at best.
Okay, now the details:
I first began leeks and onions in the middle of March. Next came fennel and celery followed by bell peppers, butternut squash, acorn squash, watermelon, zucchini, cucumber and pumpkin. Lastly, I planted thyme, parsley, basil, chive, oregano and cilantro today.
Thus far things are going well. Spring came early in Maine this year and it has been tricky trying to figure out when the last frost will be, slated for May 20th, as everything is blooming about two weeks early.
Happy growing, happy eating! --Annie
Welcome to the Blogosphere. I can't wait to get some of your seedlings. -Em
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!!! So happy to hear so much is already planted! We too had an early spring and are getting a much appreciated/needed rain this weekend. Prior to the rain, earlier this week I did a second planting of beets, spinach, radishes, and kohlrabi. I've never done this only 3-4 weeks after my first planting, but I figured with the beautiful weather we'd had thus far, why not plant more!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best with your first big garden adventure! I remember your zucs and other items in your whisky 1/2 barrel a few years ago. I've actually referred to them a few times this spring as my youngest sister is container gardening this year for her first time! Good luck! Megan
This is so exciting! I am totally and completely jealous, I have to admit. Did you know I dream of having my own garden? One day... Can't wait to see yours in September! -Em
