Am hoping to resume this blog for my own record keeping.
All the seedlings that I have grown are doing well and are now pretty much hardened off. They have spent the last couple nights outside and are well accustomed to the sunlight.
Have already planted out peas in three beds and also some spinach in front of the peas in one bed. Planted kohlrabi and rapini but it has been eaten to the ground by something. Will need to keep the brassicas under row cover until well established.
Have purchased rolls of Hex plumbing tubing to use for make hoops for the beds and will stabilize with bamboo pole across the top and then cover with the row cover. Will do the same in the strawberry beds but cover with netting to keep the birds off the plants.
We have begun construction on the last beds in the kitchen garden. 20 new veg beds and 6 new strawberry beds. 10 veg beds completed thus far but not yet filled. They still need to be lined up properly and then filled. Ordering the garden loam today.
Been spending most of my time weeding out the area for the last row of veg beds. Lots of weeds continued to grow underneath the tarps that have been there for close to 4 years now. A lot of dandelions and LOTS of couch grass which must be carefully dug out to avoid regrowth.
Asparagus has been producing well. I reckon about 12 pounds thus far.
