All of our seeds have arrived and so have the rhubarb roots. We still need to pick up some packets of flowers, and somehow we missed the tarragon, and probably another herb or two. But we do have a wide selection of veggies and herbs and I can’t wait to get things growing.

Today Aimee and Tracy worked on the seeding flats and handy dandy row markers for plant varieties. I mostly worked on the perennial garden area, where I also had the help of Gabriel, Aimee’s 3 year old son. Since he wants to be a farmer, I put him to work moving some dirt, and he did a darned fine job! I planted some rhubarb roots, as well as an apple tree I grafted last year in my permaculture design course. I also finally planted some garlic, rather late. It should’ve went in late fall, but for several reasons it didn’t, so it finally got in this week. I’m just going to consider this a test to see how large the bulbs can get with a March planting.

As far as live plants, we have black raspberry plants coming, red potatoes, yellow and red onion starts, and asparagus crowns. Sorry, the asparagus will take a couple years before they produce.
