Hoe Hoe Hoe

My Nevada lettuce has now come up.
Even as small as it is, it's been hoed one time.
My spinach also has come up.
And nicely hoed.
Peas.

Hoed. This is how I keep my garden weed free all year long. Hoe hoe hoe!!!

Planting Potatoes

Yesterday I planted my potatoes for 2011. 76 hills of Kennebec and 44 hills of Red Norland.

Planting Onions

Last Sunday I planted my onions for 2011. That's 272 Copra, 160 Walla Walla, and 40 Red Zeppelin. Got a quarter of an inch of rain that same night and another much needed .8 of an inch last night.

Amy's Cabbage

My granddaughter is in the "Bonnie's 3rd Grade Cabbage Program".

You can read about it here: http://www.bonnieplants.com/CabbageProgram/GrowingtheBonnieMegaCabbage/tabid/82/Default.aspx

I was assigned the task of growing THE cabbage. A Bonnie Mega-Cabbage (OS Cross). I planted it on Saturday with a cutworm collar.
Then I covered it with a chicken wire cage to keep the birds away.

Another cage for deer. I only have one plant. The hardest job so far was taking pictures in a 25 MPH wind.

First planting in 2011

Yesterday afternoon I planted some spinach, lettuce, beets and carrots. This is how my handiwork looks this morning. April fool???
