The sugar snap peas, snow peas, collards, spinach and lettuce we planted 1-2 weeks ago are just starting to come up. I’m not sure we should have planted the collards so early, but we’ll cover them up if there’s going to be a frost. It’s unusually warm her in western Pa too. Forsythias, crab, all blooming like crazy. The potato experiment I tried is semi-successful. I planted seed potatoes last November. I dug up a few to see if they were still there. One was just a ball of mush, but two were healthy and sprouting. I covered them over again. Mr S wants that bed for something else. Can I move potatoes?
I put in all raised beds last year since Mr S has heart problems and can’t dig much. He is loving the raised beds. The soil is just as fluffy as can be, and all I did was add a bit more top soil and compost.
Have you ever seen the video of using a black trash bag to grow potatoes? Google it - really looks interesting
My collards grew all winter long, deep freeze didn’t hurt them at all.
It must be unseasonably warm everywhere! My husband flew up to Big Sky, Montana to catch the end of the ski season and it was almost 60 degrees on the slopes. He said everything was slush.
