2023 Garden Time

Spring is in the air.  Easter flowers are popping up.  Bees are brooding up and getting ready.  Maples are in bloom and we have a few days of no rain.  Time to drop some lettuce in the raised beds.  Be a good Valentine and plant lettuce.

               I had bees bring in pollen Thursday.  Seen they are catching swarms in South Georgia.

I plan on planting a bunch of sugar snap peas this spring.  Probably start about mid-March.

I would drop them in now, you are far enough south.  They will sprout.

I plant lettuce and snow peas this week in raised beds normally.  I will cover then with plexiglass and if it warms up, they will come up.  Both are cold hardy and will stand up to frost pretty well.

Cold frame is almost ready to get some lettuce, radish, spinach and maybe some beets this week.

Hey - Has to be the 14th (Valentine's Day). Sun, rain, sleet or snow- Spinach, lettuce & onions are good to go in the ground or on the ground. This is what my old Daddy always told me (some times it didn't work out).

Game on and I beat the rush this year.  Came home this afternoon and cleaned off a raised bed.  It hoe'd up good and I seeded it with spinach, buttercrunch, black seed simpson, and snow peas.  Put the cover on and let her rip.  Calling for rain later on this week.

Cleaned off the asparagus.  Looked at the strawberry bed and left it for later, ran out of daylight.

I'd better get on it.
