It looks like time is starting to run out and I only have a couple of weeks to get all my plants and seeds into the ground. Weather and other factors have prevented me from getting everything in on time and this can happen from time to time. I will just have to work as fast as possible in order to get everything done before the month is over.
I do have my spring crops in the ground which I placed in the garden about a month ago and they are thriving with this cooler weather. I am hoping to start picking the leaves off my lettuce real soon because they are growing really good. Both my green and red plants are just about ready for harvesting which may be done by this week.
Even though I haven’t picked any lettuce leaves I did pick some of my strawberries that were ripe enough to eat. I picked about four pounds worth of strawberries which is large for a first harvest of these berries. I am hoping to get another harvest from these plants within the next week or so, then I can start focusing more on plants that need to be transplanted right away.
Along with transplants there are some seeds that must be planted in the garden including beans, carrots, and corn. I have planted my corn already and they have been sprouting and I have thinned them out this week. Now I just need to till some more of the garden and get my beans into the ground before planting any other seeds. My pole beans need a little bit more time to grow and produce beans and that is why I like planting them in May rather than June.
