Ready, Set...Grow!!!

The garden has officially left the starting gate!  Finished getting in my last seeds and seedlings today (with the exception of eggplant - next week).  Finished planting zucchini, yellow squash, bush beans, pole beans, okra, tomatoes, peppers, basil, parsley, sweet potatoes and cucumbers.  The peas, asparagus, radishes, lettuces, kale, beets and perennial herbs are well on their way growing nice and strong.   It was a beautiful day today, a little cloudy and breezy around 70 degrees.  I couldn't help but feel a little bad for my loved ones living in Massachusetts getting a nor easter today....but then the moment past as I pulled off my sweatshirt!

Check out how wonderful my experimental potatoes are coming along! I'm told when they start to flower you can harvest, but if you wait a couple of extra weeks, you will get more of a baked potato size.

Our resident nosey body, Monty, is always curious when we work in the garden.  Polka always follows just in case there may be something for him.  Whenever I walk the fenceline to check the electric, Monty walks with me...not to close... but always interested in what I am doing.  I always make sure to explain to him what I'm doing! You never know, right?!    Or maybe they just enjoy watching humans work!

FYI -  HONEY UPDATE - Her due date is  this Sunday

Beautiful pictures! Food, flowers, all a flurry! Sign us up to volunteer! It is so refreshing to see land being used for horticulture and animal husbandry, and not being sold for housing development. Certainly, housing development is necessary; it is just that I have seen much more of the housing, and less of the development. Great job, folks.

I so admire your beautiful garden design. We just have garden madness in a very unorganized style:)
It will all taste so good. We are quite a bit behind you in weather. It will be 40 here tonight. I always wait until after April 15th on anything tender.
Those taters will be ready when the vines die. You can steal "new potatoes"early if you are careful but for maximum production wait until vines wilt:)Miss Ya'll!!!!

What beautiful pictures of your gardens (and the nosy horses). I am starting to see the green of the daffodils popping up here and there. It is hard to believe sometimes that we are in the same time zone when you have all that great weather and we have, well, whatever it is that we have. Miss ya'll more than you can imagine and think about ya every day.
Peace & Love to my Georgia Fam, Anne Bug :)
