Gardening in the spring is fun and challenging, especially when we have unseasonably hot weather for a week, then back to spring temps for a week or two, then the hot again. Let's see, the updates on the gardens. We have three raised beds, One bed is mostly garlic and onions with a row of early spinach in there. The 2nd bed is currently lettuce (variety), spinach, carrots, and dill. The 3rd bed is reserved for the corn. The hothouse has starts in it of parsley, basil, peas, lavender, cucumbers, bell peppers and rosemary.
Then we have several five gallon buckets of peas, blueberries, strawberries, greek oregano and lavender. Plus, we have four 35 gallon black garbage pails with red, blue and gold potatoes. Whee! But the weather is causing some really crazed events, like the thunderstorm with the potential for hail the size of a quarter. So we quickly placed tarps over everything that was out and established. Luckily, we were on the outer edge of the storm with only a small amount of hail and lots of rain and lightening.
Here are some photos of the garden beds and the bucket garden brigade, so far.
