Next week is supposed to have night temperatures above 40 for a change. Maybe it is time to start thinking about gardening. This weekend is supposed to be cold so maybe I will see if the mower and rototiller are working. I finished clearing off the garden including removing the old asparagus stalks and flowerbeds and cleaning out the pots. Need some more rabbit damage pruning on shrubs. Got the tools ready except the hand trowel, which I think the dog grabbed and buried in the backyard.
I did get in a hurry and planted seeds of lettuce, spinach, radish, and Bok choy (whatever that is) out in the garden which are poking their heads above the soil. This weekend I will put in onion, shallot, and garlic bulbs and sow seeds of carrots, parsnips, and beets into the ground. Later I’ll plant cabbage, onion, and cauliflower plants. Might even prune the roses if I can find a decent pair of leather gloves that the pup has not eaten. The cold frames are full of flower transplants and tomato, pepper, and summer squash transplants. I will plant vine crop seeds into peat pots to germinate indoors now.
I guess to keep a close eye on the night temperatures and get ready!
