So yeah, that didn't just happen

Well out of everything I planted in early May, virtually nothing came up. It must have been that cold snap. I also have never had really good luck with Johnny's seed exchange. So in desperation I went to whole foods, I usually do well with their seeds. Nada. So I went to Home Despot cuz I was desperate. Get it??? Haha.

The potatoes I got for whole foods are going insane in Ye Olde Pumpkin Patch and in the bags out font. The seed potatoes I bought in March? Nada. These were just some reds that I bought to make mashed potatoes and forgot about.

Anyway, did you know Burpee had heirloom seeds? I didn't either. So I bought all the ones to replace what did not come up and I replanted. It's suppose to rain all day tomorrow and the soil is nice and warm, so we shall see.

This will also be the last year the Main Bed is planted in succession. I'm switching to a 2 field rotation and the old bed will be taken out of service for the 2015 season. I should also have my biochar in the ground as well, and figure giving it a season to settle might be beneficial. I'll keep you posted.

And so it begins...

The 2014 season is underway. With the help of The Littlest Giant, the green leafy veggies (lettuce and spinach) are in the ground. Also the potato bags in the front of the house have potatoes in them this year (instead of pumpkins). They are red potatoes donated by my neighbor's son who had more than he needed. Eyes sprouted and planted.

There is a good deal of work that I need to do on the driveway bed as the wood has rotted or eaten away. Good thing I have all that extra plank wood lying around in the shed. And they said I was mad for keeping it MAD I TELL YOU!!!! MUAH HA HA!!!!!

Here are some pictures, they are in Ye Olde Pumpkin Patch this year as there were pumpkins in there last year:

The lettuce is to the right, spinach to the left. Littlest Giant to the top. :)

Everything bedded down nicely
