shallots

Yes, i know it’s early, but it’s so sunny and warm I cannot resist the urge to plant.  so, peas went in today.  Planted them along the fence by the driveway to neighbor’s house.  It’s a nice sunny, sheltered spot so they should be fine even if we get a late frost.

Planted beets today.  Beets like it cool and moist.  Packet says seeds 3 inches apart with rows 6 inches apart.  Save space by planting seeds 3 inches apart, in rows 6 inches apart but with an additional row in between with seeds 3 inches apart diagonally. That comes to 3 rows in a one-row garden…

Started the lettuce about 3 weeks ago in peat pots on the windowsill.  Time to set them out.  Cool and wet are the perfect time for them.

My rhubarb is up and ready to sell at the stand at 1041 Ivanhoe Rd, Max Meadows, Virginia, or send to your location.  Call me (Joanne) at 276-595-1172 to see what’s available for you. We’ve been eating it for the past week!  Rhubarb is technically a vegetable, but historically has been eaten as a fruit. …

My poor eggplant.  One of them was undermined by a nasty rodent last night and it was wilting badly this morning. I though I lost it, but I tried tamping the dirt down and watering it thoroughly.  And it worked!  This evening it is standing strong and happy!
