liralenThe sunlight has changed... and I've definitely got spring fever and a reason to indulge it, with the OUR Center garden really needing a hand.
I have four kinds of tomatoes and a simple kind of sweet bell pepper to start SOON. The spinach has suddenly come up, so I'm planting more along with spring onions/scallions, so by May they'll be ready to harvest, for sure. The peas Jet planted in a pot have not just come up but are a good couple of feet in height.
So we bought more seeds today and John saw a cute little "green house" with a plastic cover for just $40! So we bought it and I'll likely keep it inside until the average night temps get well over freezing, it should make it easy to survive a surprise frost, outside, where the sunshine is in plentitude already out here.
Snow tomorrow, though. *grin* I'll likely just do some rosemary starts just to get something started that needs even more time than the tomatoes and peppers.

Date: 2007-02-24 07:50 pm (UTC)I need to plant peas!
Date: 2007-02-24 03:31 pm (UTC)You sound happy and busy planning your garden.
I'm still using the veggies I over wintered but I haven't planted anything this spring. The biggest surprise was that I set out two kinds of celery last summer and the red celery (an heirloom variety) has survived several hard freezes. Besides the celery I have kale, Swiss chard, rutabagas and parsnips.
Our local nursery, Territorrial Seeds, sells something like 60 varieties of tomatoes. It makes it hard to choose since I only need a couple of tomato plants.

Date: 2007-02-24 07:51 pm (UTC)And, yeah, our family only needs, maybe, four tomato plants. I do six to supply the neighborhood and, it used to be, work as well. But I need so few, now. It'll be interesting to see what it's like to do it BIG! :-)
