thanks dauna!
Hey everybody, I have Quaker Bible study on Thursdays and so the new meeting
time is not good for me, but if people can communicate with me about what's
happening via email or phone chats, it would help me be able to stay more
involved and be a part of what's going on, because I am still really into it
and excited and getting ready to get the season going!
I bought a bunch of seeds this week, for both the Lippit St. lot and the
Pearl st. garden, this is what I got:
Zucchini
Fennel
Dill
Amish Paste Tomatoes
Bokchoy
Spinach
Radishes (the little round ones)
Italian Cicoria (it's like a fancy salad dandelion)
Genovese Basil
Sugar Snap Peas
Nastutiums
Zinnias
Yellow Wax Beans
French Breakfast Radishes (the long ones)
Bush Peas
Butter-and-Sugar sweet corn (I am so excited about this! last year we were a
little late getting the corn planted, and we also didnt plant enough of it,
but this year I'm going to baby it and see if we can't get some big
beautiful ears of corn!)
I also have some tomato seeds that I bought in Italy the year before last
which I'll be picking up from my mom's house this weekend. They should
still germinate, and then we will have tomatoes whose seeds we can save year
to year.
There are two books on companion planting that I am ordering -- "Roses love
Garlic" and "Carrots love Tomatoes" -- my mom tried some of these ideas last
year with good results.
I am going away for a few days, but when I get back I'm going to start a
bunch of seed trays so we'll be good to plant the seedlings in early May.
Things we can seed outside this month -- peas, fennel, greens, broccoli,
nasturtiums, radishes. Things to wait til it gets warmer: corn, beans,
squash. Things to start indoors this month: tomatoes, peppers, eggplants,
melons.
Another thing I think I might get for us this year if someone wants to come
up to NH and help me with this: High bush blueberries!! I know of an
abandonned blueberry farm where we could dig some up and transplant them to
our garden.
Hope this was helpful! love, andrea
