My garden plans have been scaled down considerably, but a small garden is better than no garden. I've alerted my son-in-law to start digging his garden ASAP, as I'll have a lot of seeds and seedlings to pass down to him.
9 each (bottom to top) Little Gem, Anuenue and Yugoslavian Red lettuce
Two dozen spinach seedlings
Not your typical Granny garden, but it's something.
Hooray-I'm glad to see you out there! Could be the best thing for you. And your temps are enviable. Can I come visit? I'll plant!!

I planted 8 tomato plants today. I am about a week late so hope they will do okay. We have a very short period of time for them to set fruit. Our weather is really weird her in Las Vegas. The spring and fall go from hot to cold and vise a versa. My tomato harvest will be done by the middle of June. Tomorrow I will plant the rest of the tomatoes and the peppers.
ReplyDeleteWow 60 degrees there as I write. It must be nice to be in the warmth. I haven't even started my lettuce yet. I'm thinking of doing it tomorrow. We are finally getting some normal temps fro the next handful of days before it goes cold again. I just hope the garden is dethawed before those lettuce seedlings outgrow their homes. The soil block I use do 3-4 weeks OK, but not really longer for lettuce.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you're setting out your lettuce seedlings. It's good that you've scaled back, but a smaller garden is so much better than no garden. It will keep you going, but don't overdo it.
ReplyDeleteI scaled my garden down last year, just too, too much going on. This year I'm ramping it back up: finally getting life back to normal...or I'm getting use to the "new normal". Glad to see you have some things in the ground...I use a spoon to plant, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are going to continue to garden! I haven't started much yet. We are lucky when the days get above freezing this winter! The garden is still snow covered and I historically plant my peas by St. Patrick's day. Spinach, onions and red cabbage are all that I've started so far.
ReplyDeleteMy lettuce and cabbage are bolting. They came out today.
ReplyDeleteI can now start lettuce seedlings because heat waves are finally over where I live!
ReplyDeleteWe just want to see you growing!!! Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got some gardening done. You've just been sitting around doing nothing, being all lazy and such. It's about time you got those seedlings planted, Granny! And a blog post. You know some of us depend on you to garden so we can be envious of your perfection and your weather. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am also going to be planting Little Gem lettuce this year, because of an earlier post you wrote about this variety. I am glad to see that you were able to get seeds. I can't wait to give it a try in my garden.
ReplyDeletegotta grow something, as much as we can! i have threatened a few times to come live with you, and now i am sure lots of us wish we come help you out.

ReplyDeleteHope your lettuces grow well! I looked in my cold frame today after pushing the ice off so that I could lift the top off. Have a little green left in there! Did I miss something? Are you sick? Or have you just decided to scale back. Hope your doing fine. Nancy
ReplyDeleteJust read your previous post and left a comment. So sorry for all that is going on and glad that you were able to get some planting done. Take care of yourself. Nancy
ReplyDeleteI think you're still faster at planting with one hand versus me with my two! Certainly an inspiration to all that we should just keep planting. Sending good vibes your way.
ReplyDeleteYay!! You are a rockstar in the garden <3 I will be starting my lettuce this weekend I hope. We are having such a strange up and down fluctuation of temps. 76 today. 20 something by Friday night... keeps me hopping and covering and uncovering.. that's for sure! lol
ReplyDeleteHugs n love,
Wendy / Sassy
Thinking of you. Hope your appointment goes well.
