You sound *so* energetic! This gardening thing is whipping my butt. It’s like being a bagger in the supermarket where everything goes on top. There are so many thing to do and very difficult to fit into a decision matrix because more than one task is very high priority. How big is your garden plot? What have you planted beside 36 tomato seeds? Do you amend your soil w/results from an inexpensive soil-testing kit, or do you take it to your county extension office?
Glad it *sounds* like that, LOL.
How big is your garden plot?
One 10x10 for garlic, one 15x15 for perrenials, annuals, and trees, and four 8x4 raised beds for flowers and veggies.
What have you planted beside 36 tomato seeds?
Broccoli, bachelor blue buttons, oriental poppies, an ornamental grass (purple spikes), purple cone flower, purple nicotiana, latavera, and blue lace. We are expecting a week of showers and mild temps., so I planted a bunch of seeds outside today. Now I'm going out to do more seeding eventho I'm too tired and sore...you don't get a chance at a real nice spring rain with warm temps. at this time of year very often. Brain says blessing; muscles say curse, LOL.
Sorry you asked yet?
Do you amend your soil w/results from an inexpensive soil-testing kit, or do you take it to your county extension office?
The soil testing kits don't work very well for me, I think I do it wrong?
By finding the characteristics of the plants that do well in the soil, I've been able to figure out that certain parts are clay, some parts are mostly previously added sand, and then there are the raised beds. The garlic and the blueberry bush do really well in one area, (acidic), and the lavender does much better in a different spot (neutral).
Must stop talking. Must go seeding.
See Ya'll later.
