Are you wearing green today? Watch out if you're not, my boys will pinch you!
Following another March 17 tradition, we are going to plant our potatoes today. We are also going to plant onions for the first time.
Last Saturday I picked up some seed potatoes from the local Ace Hardware store. Luke and Jacob cut them into pieces making sure each one had an eye. They have been sitting on cookie sheets toughening up as the instructions said to do.
Yesterday Luke and Jacob tilled both the big garden bed and the small patch. Then we took up our shovels and spread the aged horse manure we had gotten on Saturday from a local horse riding place. Then that got tilled in and we are ready to garden!
The rest of the garden vegetables will wait a few more weeks I think. Last year I planted a little too early and we had a few cold nights.
Along with the potatoes and onions, we will plant:
big tomatoes,cherry tomatoes, jalapeno peppers,bell peppers,cucumbers,zucchini,broccoli,lettuce,snow peas,yellow squash,butternut squash,popcorn,green beans,pumpkin,and more garlic.
Have a great day!
