Sunshine

The sun has been shining for a few days now, giving us daytime temperatures in the upper 50s. With the sun still low on the horizon, we only get a few hours of direct sun over the trees, and today we were there too see it.

As you can see, our plot is making a lot of progress from only a few weeks ago. We're working hard to have the beds ready to go as soon as spring really gets here. Top left in the narrow bed isspinach and mixed lettuce, followed by beets/carrots/onions/shallots in #2. Gretel is working on the rock garden, which is very productive already, thank you very much. Bed #3 will be beans, brussel sprouts, and a few tomatoes and peppers. To the right of that are two strawberry mounds, Quinalt followed by Eversweet. 1 of 2 potato beds is represented by the small box.

In the lower left is an 18" wide asparagus bed, with crowns planted 2/21: 5 Jersey Knight, 3 Sweet Purple, and 3 Mary Washington.
