My carrots have sprouted, as has one of the pickling cucumber plants. Broccoli and tomatoes seem to be doing okay and the raspberry bush is kicking butt and stretching out every day. Potatoes and onions in the 4x4 are doing well and I added some Walla Walla onions in with the green onions around the perimeter so I’ll have a little variety come harvest time.

Just got a Serrano pepper plant yesterday and put it in a good sized pot so hopefully that’ll produce after about 90 to 100 days.

And wifey’s orchid plants look amazing! I’ll have to take some pics and upload them. The mini daffodils came and went in a span of about a week so we hardly got any time to enjoy them, but I have a nice amaryllis out front that’s going to open up in the next day or two.

I’m still hoping to get back into the workforce real soon, but that’ll come at a trade-off with enjoying my gardening exploits. Happy Friday to all!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures. I was never able to grow anything when I was working. Though if I had known about sq ft gardening, I might have had a small bed with some success.

It’s a good method for beginners I think. First time I was ever able to grow anything.
