Yesterday I planted a bunch of seedlings. Zucchini and pumpkin. Since our garden plot resembles concrete at this point, I planted the seedlings in hills of compost. It'll be interesting to see how they do. One problem, I didn't label the starting pots, so I have no idea which plants are which. They all look the same at this stage. Jeez.
The pumpkins, I think, as they sprouted. Now they're bigger and planted outside.
This got us thinking about the possibility of building (as in paying someone to build) raised beds for the vegetable garden instead of fighting with the "soil" we've got. If we do decide on raised beds, we won't have them built until next spring. Lots to think about and, besides, the plot is now planted with squash.
Raised beds sound like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGood idea about planting seedlings in compost- they will like that.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's funny that you're not quite sure which plant is in each little pot :)
ReplyDeletemitch, we shall see what we get for an estimate.
ReplyDeleteevelyn, I hope so!
judy, hilarious. I think they're all "face plants." ;)
Raised beds were a game changer for us. Much easier on the backs, and with wire, no gophers. Voles can unfortunately still climb the sides....
