My garden last year failed pretty badly. I decided to have a much more conservative approach this year and will be sticking to my 4 raised beds and some vegetables in pots on the patio.
A couple weeks ago we planted a bunch of seeds that I had leftover from last year. Our friend Larisa had come over and I hadn’t planned on gardening, but I had her out there in her nice sweater and pants working with a hoe.
I planted a few things
- Red Onion
- Basil
- Various Legumes
- Pumpkin
- Squash
I’m a little concerned about some of the seeds being successful now though, we had had such nice weather that I planted some seed that should have been planted after the danger of the last frost had passed. I was away for a few days and got a text message from my husband about how we had had snow.
Of course Cooper had to get involved in the planting too.
I also got some asparagus roots. I’m excited to plant them somewhere but I understand from Animal, vegetable, miracle that it takes three years for an asparagus harvest to be useful. I need to pick a great place for them. I love the idea of having fresh asparagus.
