Potato, Peas, Greens

...Outside Garden is really coming in nicely!
So far, there's only a few plants outside... tomorrow, Satuyrday, a lot more will begin to make the journey outside.

Onions have been outside since early March. Potato since St. Patrick's Day (March 17). Herbs, not long after. Peas were planted in April.

Top priority for tomorrow is to sow Carrot Seed, and to fill 6 or 8 of the 10 Gallon (38 Liter) Fabric Grow Bags, with my combo 1/3 Soil, 1/3 compost, and 1/3 peat. If you remember, I have some seed germinating, in these paper towel, water, plastic baggies:

When I hold them up to light, I can clearly see a few of the seeds have germinated, and that means, I need to get ready to sow these soon.

After filling those Grow Bags, my next tasks for me to accomplish, this coming week:

  • I have another 20 grow bags, to fill, that's the last of them. A total of 20 or so for pepper, 45 or so for tomato, a half dozen for other plants. These will get my usual 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 peat, 1/3 compost mix, plus Espoma® Garden-Tone and some worm castings. At the least, I need to gather the soil, compost and peat for this and perhaps start to mix it.
  • end of week, I will start Hardening OFF my peppers: transplanting outside, within 10 days.
  • Next week, I will be hardening off Tomato, and following week, squash, Zucchini and more herbs! It takes about a week for Hardening off plants. so, once I start, I transplant in 7 or 8 days, depending on weather.

I need to find a couple of large container for the Blueberry Bushes.

It looks like you have quite a bit of room; I'm limited to my balcony but make use of the space to grow a few things, mainly herbs I can use in cooking or flowers. It's not ideal, but I have to work around the constraints I have. I'd like to have some room for one or two of those grow bags.

It sounds perfect, @becca-mac
the key is making the most of what you have. If I only had limited space, given my love of cooking, my herbs are easily the 1st thing I plant. Nothing better than fresh goodness while cooking!

Fresh herbs add some zing to a meal yes? I only have the basics, based around the foods I eat, but enjoy them so much...There's a very satisfying feeling that comes from plucking basil leaves for my spaghetti or tomato bruschetta.

Thank you for commenting and following, I am so pleased. (It's really difficult to get any traction here.)
