Let the Planting Begin

We made the frames for the raised beds, and got a huge pile of dirt. Which actually is going pretty fast, and we might actually need more.

Our 2021 Planting Schedule

  • The first weekend in April – indoors
    • Corn
    • Peas
  • The second weekend in April – indoors
  • Last weekend in April – I improvised and use paper towel and tp rolls inside of plastic lettuce boxes to start Russian sunflowers and Cowpeas/black eyed peas and they did amazing!
  • First weekend in May – I finished two of the raised beds
    • Junebearer strawberries – 2 small plants and about 15 bare roots
    • Purple & green asparagus bare roots – about 10 each
  • Second weekend in May – I finished two more beds
    • 3 rows of garlic bulbs that I had soaked for a couple days in compost tea/fertilizer
