Apropos to the meme: don’t put potato sets in plastic bags, even if they have been treated with sulfur dust: they can still mold. We’ll see if they recover or not; still able to get more Kennebecks & Nordlands, if needed; the russet Burbanks are fine, in a paper sack.
Pea seeds from 2 weeks ago are just beginning to germinate, thanks to the return of frigid weather; I uncovered a couple of seeds to check whether they were okay or not.
Naturally, no beets of carrots after only a week.
The leeks in the coffee cans are beginning to emerge; the cat grass in another one is already about 2” tall.
After work today, I spread fertilizer in the potato furrows. Supposed to get showers tonight & tomorrow, which will water it in ahead of planting Wednesday, after work: New Moon. More rain on Thursday, to water them.
My scarlet runner bean seeds arrived this week, so I have everything planned on planting on hand now. 65 of them should be just about right for 50’ of 8’ garden fence.
Do you grow the leeks in the coffee cans, or do you transplant them?
