So I spent the weekend out in the gardens. It looks like all my fall planted stuff made it. Got all the fruit trees dressed and all the perennial stuff cleaned up. The spinach, peas and carrots are up. The garlic and potato onions are looking great. Planted a bunch more rhubarb and another walnut. I had a couple of packets of old lettuce seed. Some was probably ten years old. Last fall just for the heck of it I threw it into one of the raised beds. Didnt grow at all last fall so I thought it was no good. This spring I have a lot of lettuce coming up. I need to get the fence up as there are plenty of deer tracks through the garden and the woodchuck is back. Also got my first round of poison ivy. Best part is the asparagus is up. Had the first one out of the garden on Sat. I am thinking of doubling the bed next year. It is one of our favorite veggies and an easy one to grow.
