Well, this past weekend we broke down and bought some fruit trees! Way too many Apples but who knows what will happen, need to be ready for anything, right? :) Here's the round up:
1 Dwarf Granny Smith (I LOVE GRANNYs)
1 MacIntosh
1 Winesap (that seems to need staked)
And... a Peartree. I can't remember what type it is. I know that it's not a Bartlett, thats about it :-p
They're in the ground, got them in this last week. Everything seems ok, except the Winesap fell over during a rain shower. It got pretty soaked, not the best ground where it's planted. Need to make a point to really work the soil over the next time we plan to get something permanent.
I also got some seed Potatoes. I don't know the type but they should be delish! I just need to get them in the ground. Today was the first day that they can be planted in our neck of the woods and it was an extremely pretty day, but I have a horrid cold. So I didn't get them out. There's supposed to be about four days of rain coming up.. yay! NOT!! Arg. Oh well, I'll get them in soon.I did however get a border of Onions around the future Lettuce bed and my Salsify and a few Radish seeds out. I hope it's not too early for the latter two. But I covered them up with a tarp til I can get some clear sheeting for a sort of LARGE row cover. They shouldn't need it though but this is the first time I've grown either of them. So we'll see.
OH, also got the Peas in. It's been raining cats and dogs for several days and this was the first clear day we've had recently.. but I'd tarped over the Pea bed and it stayed RELATIVELY dry. So they're planted.. *SIGH* I wanted them in the ground for St Patricks day but it was too soupy :(
Cheers!
