This and That in and around the gardens

The best way I know to mow a lawn, First, it teaches Girl how to be a proper tie out grazing cow, while she is still small, second it saves on gas for the lawnmower, third, the lawn is mowed to a high that the grass still has a nice height to it, fourth, the clean up is easy enough and the results can get flipped into the compost pile. So how does your lawn mower grow 😉

The first potato’s are up and got a good start, our second planting is just poking its heads up and we will put our third planting out over the next week or two.

The peas are coming along very well, not only on their third set of true leaves but the first gripping tendrels are starting so soon I will be helping them find their climbing wire. My Greenhouse started Cabbage and Broccoli that was transplanted out about a week ago are looking good, they don’t appear to be set back at all. The green onions are ready for harvest at eight inches tall and the romaine is going strong as is the garlic, my strawberries plants are looking great but no flowers yet.

Inside the green house, the tomato and pepper plants are growing like mad, they need to get transplanted out as soon as the weather will allow it. My big tomato plants are well into their first flowering, and I will have my first fresh tomato’s within the next few weeks.

Still have so much to plant and as you can clearly see in the above photos, someone needs to do a little weeding already 🙂 That is a never ending chore around here..

Out in the fruit yard, the plum tree’s are in full bloom and looking mighty fine, hoping for a really nice crop this year. I have the most amazing spicy plum sauce recipe to share.
