Catching up

It has been a few weeks since I last updated this blog. A little wintery weather kept us out of the garden on and off, but things are moving along. Over the past week or more, Tracy planted some sugar snap peas, carrots, radishes and lettuce, and Jenny & I planted spinach, kale, Swiss chard, more lettuce, arugula, beets, turnips, more carrots, broccoli & broccoli rapini, asparagus, raspberry, blackberry, as well as various culinary and medicinal herbs! Woo hoo! And the seedlings are coming along in the micro-greenhouse. Today we transplanted some into more spacious accommodations.

Today Jenny & I also worked on setting up the drip irrigation system. We blew out the main header to get out any dirt that may have gotten in there, and checked the head for kinks and ease of flow. Later I attached the drip lines and tested that out. It all looks good!

Oh! And I can’t forget Jillian! Jillian is back to overseeing the farm project, and she & I laid more weed barrier Sunday in the drizzle. Neal also came out to brave the drizzle and lend a hand as he is known to do. Jillian also tidied up the garden shack and it is looking great! Well, I mean.. for a garden shack, ya know.

    Wow, it’s so exciting to see what you’re doing. I’m guessing that today, with our big spring snow, you’re indoors doing some planning.

    I live in a condo in Broomfield, and have just bought some heirloom, organic, non-GMO seeds from Botanical Interests (www.botanicalinterests.com) and plan to try my hand at container gardening.

    Maybe some time I could come help you all out a bit in exchange for some tips.

    Best wishes!
