Thank goodness for small favors.
Hello everyone! Wishing you all a great gardening season from west Michigan. We are off to a good start here. Seed coming up nicely and plants too. So far romaine lettuce, red romaine, shanghai bok choi, better boy tomatoes, san Marzano and camparis. I use seed from the ones in the grocery store. Costa rican red peppers, shishito peppers, kitchen king green beans, chef jeff’s bush pickles, basil, oregano, dill, cilantro, green onions, my favorite yellow radishes from the Ukraine. And I am hoping some of my Boston Marrow squash seed is still good. Not up yet but it’s been cool. Also eating asparagus. I am most excited about my pawpaw trees. I should know in a week or so if they will have blossoms. Also I have a large round iris garden. About 8’ in diameter. Many kinds of iris. And a few other perennials. Last summer I cleaned it out and divided the irises, hauled over 300 pounds (on a tarp) of crap - grass, weeds, violets, some myrtle. Everything was just choked and the irises were not blooming well at all. I have so many buds this year! I expect to have pictures this year to post. We are getting food rain and no late frost this year.
If you ever wanted to see and hear the dam at full dump, this is the week.
