Mid-March:
I take a trip up, and there's tat soi and some other cabbage or turnip greens growing under the glass panes I left out on the bed in front of the greenhouse! I watered and mulched them.
I planted some peas and radishes under the glass and in another bed.
Then I replaced the glass for another two weeks.
There's also the catmint coming back to life, and the oregano in the square bed always has something pickable.
I've bought seeds, placed orders for fruits, nuts, purple asparagus and mushrooms. I have the bench in tghe bathroom in Burlington covered in starting seeds. The leeks and onions are about 5 inches high, and an eggplant is just starting to come up. I'm ready for Spring!
Back in Sherburne, there's lot of dead trees to chop down, AND I have 1 to 2 cords of freshly-sawn 16"-long giant maple rounds in my yard. The town had to take them down, they said, because they were rotting and interfering with the phone lines.
I couldn't find the two blueberry bushes that should have been behind this new wood pile, but I don't think the wood is covering them, either.
Plans:
I want to get the plastic pond liner next to the greenhouse properly sunk in the ground for once. I'm going to build an herb spiral where a big honeysuckle was pulled out of the front yard. My front-yard small fruit orchard is going to really start to take shape as the storage building in the back yard does, too. I'm going to plant asparagus where they get a little more sun, and I'm going to try to introduce mushrooms to the yard: phoenix fir oyster and enokitake.
