It is definitely Spring, we have lots of things growing.

These are Raspberry plants, I have purchased 9 so far and may have two that are actually growing.

We added two apple trees, replaced a pear tree a second time and attempted a peach tree a third time. All of the new trees have buds and these established trees are starting to bloom.

We actually have eaten a couple of Asparagus stalks, and the rest will grow and go to seed as this is our second-year growth. The picture really does not show how tall they are. Interestingly we have something growing in the bed in the front of this picture. I tried to thin out the radishes yesterday, but I may have just killed half of them if they don’t perk up I will

I tried to identify, and it said a butterfly bush, but I am thinking either loofas or cucumbers.

I may have overplanted the loofa as I have 15 growing in the greenhouse! This should at least provide a years supply of sponges.

Snap peas from the first planting have started to shine, 3 broccoli plants that have survived begin transplanted and some very small spinach is also starting to sprout.


Tomatoes and peppers are really enjoying the greenhouse! I am watering every other day or every third day depending on my schedule. The current plan is to plant these our the week of Spring Break which is three weeks away!

This year is the first time I have attempted to start Marigolds from seeds. I currently have 36 small, tiny plants less than 7 days after planting!

No potatoes yet!

I am probably most excited for this tray. I started cucumbers, squash, zucchini and basil all from seed yesterday! This is also the last tray that I will be starting inside as we start planting outside in 3 weeks!
