We've had an unusually warm spring out here in the PNW, and although I am not sure what that means for our crops later this year I do know it means its been warm enough to start the garden.
This week I painted up the vegetable garden fence and gate and put the first of the seeds in; Red Onions, Sweet Onions, Spinach and Snap Peas.
This is my third year of vegetable gardening, last year I yielded an excellent crop of spinach through the colder season. (I plant 2 new rows every 2 weeks to ensure a bounty of spinach for as long as possible before the heat arrives.) I wish I could say the same for the snap peas, they didn't fare too well, so fingers crossed for this year!
This weekend I am working on my 2 potato towers, a veg I haven't tried yet! From what I've read I should be able to yield about 60ish pounds between the two towers for minimal cost. And that my friends sounds like Heaven! Tutorial to follow.
I will try my hand at growing more tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, ground cherries, corn, spaghetti squash, lettuce, peppers and carrots!
