Turned up my soil today. Threw out the rocks and the old dead wood under the ground. The soil isn't good as it's much lighter than I'd imagined it would be as the soil for the daffodils was dark and good. A few bags of mulch should solve that problem and I'll be able to plant by Friday.
The spaghetti squash plants are a foot tall now as are the peas. The hancho peppers are six inches high and the seeds started last week are but sproutlings, if there is such a word. I'm having a lovely time imagining all those peppers growing and bearing fruits and today I started some long green hot peppers from seeds culled from today's dinner. Everyone who can should have a garden, a small source of food grown by their own hands, even if it's just a few container tomatoes!
The apple tree seems to be budding and several of the rasperries are looking pretty good too. I will order the grapes tomorrow. Providentially, my husband said now that I've killed off the invasive Virginia Creeper that we should plant useful vines to cover the fence. What could be more useful than seedless grapes? And six more raspberry plants! Now that farmer Maximalist is started, it's time to maximalize my efforts.
