Being as it is already the first week of May
and I like to have my garden planted by Mother’s Day at the latest, I started
my baggied seedlings this afternoon after the fella’s pulled stakes and knocked
off for the day (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2019/05/exterior-house-painting-day-3.html).
The baggied seedlings should be sprouted and
ready to plant by Mother’s Day:
Painted Corn
Baggied Bean Seedlings on window sill: there are 4 different varieties. I like beans; Bob never did. So this year I decided to try at least 2 I have never grown before – 1 out of curiosity, and the 2nd because recipes keep calling for it and I can’t find it in the grocery stores.
Baggied Corn Seedlings on window sill
Transplant Seedlings coming along good.
These go in the garden next week. Several plants have gone past the 2ndary leaf stage and need to be in place in their garden boxes.
And some of the rest of my Territorial seed
Company order arrived by Fed Ex a few minutes ago …
Happy to see these. I never feel like the garden is really {in} until I have tomatoes in the garden :-D
It appears everything but the Chinese Garlic has arrived; and the garlic will arrive in the Fall sometime for Fall planting.
The new arrivals have been set in the window with my transplant seedlings to catch some sun rays
Now that the exterior of the house has been painted
and that job is done, I can get outside and plant my garden if the weather
holds.
And hopefully I can get the rain barrels in
place too, and ready to catch rain water when it rains again. The barrels
themselves are light and easy to move around … I’m just not sure how to get
them set up to do what they are supposed to do – Bob set them up for me last
Spring, and Mike tore them down for me last Fall: and I couldn’t watch either
of them because I was otherwise occupied. So if Mike can’t come over and coach
me with the 1st barrel, I guess I’ll have to wing it and figure it
out on my own.
One way or the other … they are being set in
place and hooked up this weekend ;-)
