Planting as of now

Three rows of Kabocha Squash were planted yesterday.

So now in the annual beds we've sown:
Cabbage, kale, spinach, lettuce
Peas, carrots, beets, chard
Corn, garlic, onions, potatoes.

The perennial beds are full of:
Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, other misc berries
Artichokes, asparagus, rhubarb, all kinds of flowers
Medicinal herbs of many kinds (maybe Summer or Steven can enumerate more).

Even more exciting is THE GREENHOUSE!!!
Yesterday was also a workparty for assembling the greenhouse.
The frame was mostly up by the time I left - it's huge!!!

note: flea beetles especially love Chinese Cabbage, and Valerian makes beautiful flowers.

McWeeWhoo is Here!!

May first seems to be the day that squashes propagated outside will sprout. So it is safe to direct sow our squashes.

The little migratory bird who says "McWeeWhoo!", brings the fortuitous sign that warm days are ahead. He has officially arrived, so summer, here we come!!!

Next year, we will have to see if these two signs occur simultaneously around May 1st.
