I started my corn in the greenhouse today after soaking the seed between damp paper towels for 3 days. I took the weed eater to another bed of Vetch cover crop and added that to the compost pile with layers of Redwood needles yesterday and still have 2 beds to go ~

Prayers up for a full recovery for your husband and thanks for sparing from the tornadoes!

I'm progressing nicely on my garden. So far I have 40 tomato plants set out, the green peppers are up and looking good, the carrots, potatoes and peas are all doing well. I even have strawberries on! I thought I would lose the ones that blossomed before the freeze but they now have strawberries! The corn in planted as well as the beans, watermelon, acorn squash. It looks like I'm even going to be harvesting lots of garlic this year!

Hi - I graduate on Monday from the NC Master Gardener’s program. I have really enjoyed this class and the people I’ve met are a diverse and friendly group. I’ve found a garden that I can help tend in order to get my volunteer hours in for this next year (40 hours). It’s a wildflower preserve on approximately 2-3 acres. It’s mostly wooded and very shady (which is nice considering that we are headed into a warm spring and typically hot NC summer). The person who started the garden 50 years ago has collected over 28 different species of trillium and it’s mostly populated with native plants.

The exciting part is that the front of my father’s property is almost the same type of microclimate. So instead of trying to figure out how to radically modify the landscape, I can just focus on ridding the area of english ivy and poison ivy. Then focus on creating natural pathways and finding and planting native plants. Also, while assisting on the wildflower preserve, as we thin the plants we are also allowed to take home some of the thinned out plants. (Nice benefit!)

My tomato seedlings are growing rather vigorously and the flower seedlings are doing well also.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week. God bless!
