The last couple of weeks have seen a rush of planting in the garden. I've got the perennials up and blooming, and it looks like we are going to have lots of food.
I've been planting things all over the place, and of course have lost track of some of the things I've planted. Luckily for me, all of them are edibles, and I'll figure them out when they come up. I do know that there will be lots of tomatoes, since I've got quite a few volunteers by the spot where they were growing last year. Plus, I've planted out 3 seedlings, also.
Mary and I stopped in at the nursery a week ago, and got collards, brussels sprouts, lettuce, and several kinds of basil. I got 2 Pak-choy plants too. I sometimes wonder where I'm going to put all of these plants, but I always seem to find a spot for another plant. It will get easier in the front, when the daffodils greens die back, but that won't be for a month or 2 yet. In the mean time, I'm so enjoying all of the spring growth!
Soon, I'll be out planting squash seeds around the neighborhood in abandoned land. Might as well have some food from that too. I may do cucumbers like that too. Depends on the sun in the area I'm planting. I also might sneak over to the community college and plant some things in the unmown sunny spots. All that grass, just itching to have some squash growing with it.
