blossoms on the plum tree
I knew I had slowed down on my gardening - life gets busy and full. But looking back at what was growing April 2015 is a little embarrassing.
Here's a comparison as to what I have growing in 2019.
Asparagus - not up yet
Blueberry - flowering
Celery - planted from kitchen scraps but having trouble establishing. The ones from last year didn't overwinter well. I suspect varmints.
Garlic - overwintered and starting to come back. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxNZtelYCf/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
Grape - pruned, no buds
Kale - Didn't overwinter. Planted in March.
Nasturtium - wasn't successful last year
Onion- planted in March
Oregano - overwintered and coming back
Pea - will plant in April
Plum - blooming
Potato - they won't grow! We even dug out the potato bed last year and took out a ton of tree roots. The tree roots are back but I suspect some kind of varmint. https://www.instagram.com/p/BluLPZzBm4z/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
Raspberry - this year's canes aren't quite coming up yet
Rosemary - overwintered
Spinach - just planted in March
Strawberry - overwintered but weak
Thyme - overwintered but weak
New to this list:
Brussel sprouts - overwintered and gave some nice sprouts but are now bolting. I will save seeds!
Chives - perennial herb
Greenbeans - planted in March
Lettuce - planted in March
Marionberry and Loganberry - pruned but no new canes yet.
This will be my 7th summer gardening this land (mini-farm). I have added and lost bees. I have added and lost and added chickens. We have cats and a dog. I grow less seed crops and more perennials. I have noticed seasonal clues to planting (like when the daffodils come up). Each year is a bit different. Each harvest unique. All are enjoyable. Planting is a passion I will not easily give up. Cheers to 2019! Let's see what the season holds.
