I found a small daffodil blooming in the south garden along the house. I lived in this house for 7 seven years and never found any daffodils before this. The single Hyacinth plant is just starting to show its flowers.
Saturday, I did find time to plant short rows of French Breakfast Radishes, Bloomsdale Spinach, Dragon Carrots, and Detroit Red Beets in one of my raised beds. There is a large planter next to the back porch stair which I also planted with lettuce. It was wonderful to be able to dig in the garden and smell the freshly turned soil.
I also found time to plant the tomatoes, eggplants and basil in the seed starter trays. Here is the list of what I planted.
Tomatoes:
Paste:
Federle
Amish both are red paste.
Cherry:
Chocolate Cherry (Deep Red color)
Sunsugar Hybrid (Golden Color)
Large:
German Pink (Pink color)
Brandywine (Pink color)
German Green (Green) I find it hard to tell when the fruit is
ripe.
Medium:
Celebrity (Red)
Delicious (Red)
Black Krim (Dark Red) It makes the best tasting BLT.
Green Zebra (Yellow and Green Strips with Green meat)
Tomatillo:
Purple
Dr. Wyche Yellow, I grow this before and the salsa tasted
great.
Green Husk
Eggplant:
Rossa Bianca (Large white and purple fruit)
Udumalapet ( 2 to4 inch purple and yellow fruit)
Basil:
Genovese (Large fragrance leaves)
Napoletano (large leaves good for salads)
I spend most of Sunday transplanting the impatiens plants into 3 packs. The cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels Sprouts and cabbage were transplanted into single containers.
The reason why I choose to name this “Spring is a Tease” is we are just getting a taste of what it can be like since tomorrow the weather is changing back with temperatures between the 30s and 40s with possibly of snow this Saturday.
PS: Maestro been enjoying the weather too.
