It looks like some of the first harvests of the season will come from either my lettuce plants or some other spring crop. Radishes don’t take long to mature and they were planted in the ground a couple of months ago along with my pea plants. These are just some of the harvests I have to look forward to this year.
The only flowers I transplanted into the garden this week were my cilantro and cosmos flowers. These plants I started growing back in April and took quite awhile for them to germinate and grow in the containers that I provided them. They survived this whole time and it was way overdue to plant them in the ground. It seems like they all took to the soil and with the rain today should definitely help them out greatly.
Rhubarb was another plant that had been grown in pots and was eventually destined to be added into the garden. I gave them a spot with plenty of room since they have very large roots and need plenty of feeding. I don’t plan on harvesting any of the stems this season, but hopefully with some good care this year and a cold winter I should have a small harvest next season.
Last but not least I wanted to mention some of the seeds that were planted and which ones have shown signs of germinating. Squash was the first since they don’t take long to germinate. This includes both zucchini and pumpkin plants. Some cucumbers were in the mix beginning to sprout. Sunflowers were the other seeds that are starting to grow in the garden. All that I am waiting for are carrots and a couple of melon seeds that I added a week ago.
