Between arctic wind blasts, I did manage to plant several rows of cool-season vegetable seeds. Those include:
~ Radish 'French Breakfast' from Botanical Interests
~ Slow-Bolt Cilantro from Renee's Gardens
~ 'Bloomsdale' Spinach from American Meadows
~ Lettuce Garden Blend from a mix given out by the Maryland Master Gardener
~ Sweet Curly Parsley from Renee's Gardens
~ Carrots 'Danvers 126' from Botanical Interests
~ Rocket aka Arugula from Love and Carrots
~ 'Purple Top White Globe' Turnips from Botanical Interests
~ and some unnamed seed potatoes shared by another gardener at the Fenton Community Garden
Given the frosty temps, I will give all of these an extra week to come up and see if any need re-seeding.
So what is growing in your edible plot today?
I have Champion and Plum Purple radishes coming up. The squirrels found the peas I planted on St. Patrick's Day, though. I finally got around the buying the red pepper spray to recommended so I will be trying peas again today.
ReplyDeleteWhat about beets, is this the time to plant them?
Yes, totally time for beets. I did not list those as, alas, I have never developed the taste for them and would rather devote my plot space to things I personally would consume (even though much gets given away and donated in the end).
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your peas - squirrels can be real jerks sometimes.
Love and Carrots arugula?! We like the sound of that! How is your arugula liking all of this rain?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Megan. A few days ago the arugula seedlings were just emerging. I'm afraid will all this flooding rain that they may be washed away, but I have been surprised before at how tenacious they can be. I'll give another update on Friday once we dry out a bit.
