April 18, 2022= Asian green mix have germinated.

Sugar snap peas seeded March 22/20

moved frame over to the right (westward) so can have more space along left edge

2018 was sugar snap peas, cuke on the ground, climbing beans

Last year was cuke, climbing beans, sugar snaps

2020 sugar snaps, cuke, climbing beans

with rotating sugar snaps after cukes, beans requires much more clean up- cukes are easy so space is ready for sugar snaps seeding earlier in the spring.

Seeded Sugar Snap Peas- Dam20- Super Sugar Snap- a climbing variety

says thin to final spacing of 2" apart

Frame is 21 ft or 252 inches- packet had 126 seeds- so put 40+ seeds per section =pretty close to 2" apart

Placed a bag of leaves from HG along edge, covered with black poly strip, weighted down with boards. Need to pull back black plastic as is slightly covered over seed right now.

Hopefully this will warm up the soil for better germination.

Planted 6 red cabbage + sugar snaps

Peas along the fence
Cabbages along in front of the mini roses
Had transplanted pink rose from in front of the Rose of Sharon

Put two more patio stones along side of deck/ moved a couple of pachysandra out of the way

Moved the last of plants from downstairs to the veranda
Up potted some eggplant and pepper

Rototilled the gardens- tilled in bags of leaves from last fall from Heritage Green
Rototilled the low spot by the sump pump drain- sprinkled grass seed

Mowed the back hayfield

Weeded the last garlic bed- fertilized it and mulched with shredded paper

Saturday- cut wild garlic from under front hawthorn- made a green fry


May 25, 2016- sugar snap peas just starting to come up

Planted single row about 6 ft of some yellow potatoes that Sachiko had that has sprouted to shoots about 9-10 inches long. Put under verandah for a few days, stems were starting to green up. Turned over soil, rototilled then emptied one side of the bed to shovel depth, placed the potatoes in the bottom, placed a bucket of sand around the potatoes and around the shoots to keep the shoots upright. This way when digging up, will know the right depth when you hit sand.
btw, in last years bed, there is a potato plant growing.

Sugar snap peas have pods on them about 1 1/2 inches long

in the bed with onions and leeks from last fall- transplanted 1 leek from the old 4 by 4 leek bed
and a couple of red onion sets from another bed.
Planted about 6 leeks from the indoor seeding- that's all that survived
Then found a pile of red onion seedlings en masse. transplanted some of them here and there to fill up the bed.

Took half wheelbarrow full of soil from behind shed and dumped it into the new bed between the honeysuckle and Reg's catalpa
