The tomato seedlings are up! This year I've planted only two varieties: roma and marmande. I thinned the seedlings down to one per pot before I took this photo. I will plant six romas and nine marmandes (there's one extra in case I lose one), significantly down from the number of tomato plants in previous years. The total number of plants has to be a multiple of three because I'm using my tripod stakes to support them.
I've also planted zucchini (in the round pots). One seed came up, the second has been eaten by something. I planted another seed yesterday to replace it. Not in the photo are pots of chard seeds that have yet to sprout (I just planted them yesterday). Once the garden plot is ready, I will also start planting beans. I have purple pole beans (same as last year), green beans, and yellow beans.
None of these will be planted before May 15, I guess. After the saints de glace have passed.
ReplyDeleteAnd you might even soon have spring. That greenhouse was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteA great start to this year’s garden.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, you were so smart to add on that greenhouse. If anyone would use it, you would :)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing so exciting as seedlings. Each year I would see them sprout and feel as if I were watching fireworks.
ReplyDeletePlanting all ready! Here in Idaho it still at night it could very well drop into it 30's
