After a few last brushes with freezing temperatures and snow, spring appears to be here for good. Finally! That meant this weekend it was time to transplant our seedlings to their prepared beds. Here's a rundown of what we're growing in raised beds this season:- Eggplant (bought these seedlings as ours failed to germinate)
- Bell Peppers
- Tomatoes (three kinds: Eva Ball, Heritage Hybrid, and Beam's Yellow Pear)
- Jalapeno (bought these seedlings as ours failed to germinate)
- Kale (Lacinato and Dwarf Siberian)
- Swiss Chard
- Snap Peas
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Lettuce (Mesclun, Buttercrunch, and Red Leaf)
- Bush Beans
- Zucchini
- Acorn Squash (Thelma Sanders)
- Cucumbers (Boston Pickling and Parisian Pickling)
- Radishes
- Carrots
- Parsley
- Tarragon
- Scallions
- Oregano
- Lavender
- Cilantro
- Basil (Genovese and Thaii)
On Friday I transplanted kale, squashes, cucumbers and peppers. Saturday Nick and a friend of ours prepped the support system for the tomatoes, planted the tomatoes, and placed the squirrel cage over the bed. This time the tomatoes are going in the middle bed instead of the last bed (up against the fence), so that they can be more easily accessed.
The guys also put up a trellis for the snap peas to climb as they grow.
So far, so good. In addition, I'm trying my hand at dill (again) and potatoes. Thus far the potatoes do not appear to be progressing, but we'll see.
