First plants of the season

Spring has now sprung and we are all looking forward to a supply of fresh veggies again. February was unusually warm so I took advantage of the weather and started our garden a little earlier this year. I have planted 3 things. Peas: both pod and snow. We all love them and we are glad to see them I have planted them along our old fencing in hopes that will climb that.



Radishes: Cherry Bell. We had a great time eating all of the radishes last year. This year I have started earlier and we are planning on multiple crops. These were planted in February and my youngest assistant and I planned another row this weekend. Radishes can be planted repeatedly every 10 days to 2 weeks from March until September in our area. However, I usually don’t have great luck with them mid July- mid August. My spot is a little hot for them.


Carrots: Nutri-Red. I planned these on the same day as the radishes in February and we just started to see the first few coming through about a March 20th. These can also be planted repeatedly through June and then again in September, but then you may want to try an over wintering variety.



In our area any of these thing can start being planted now. Or as soon as you can work your ground. Any questions let me know: mtherbal@aol.com
