The Rest of the Garden
For the record, here’s the rest of my garden in April. I’ve already shown you my tomatoes, lettuce, and strawberries, so there isn’t much left to see. Most of the action has been planting seeds that have yet to sprout.
| I’ve started to harvest the garlic. |
| I had a bunch of pantry potatoes start sprouting, so I planted them in my potato tubs. First ones are up. |
| Also planted a new-to-me potato variety – Zolushka. |
| These are said to be one of the rare varieties that will grow from seed. Seemed like something worth trying. |
| I don’t have many asparagus plants, so each shoot is a treat! |
| We usually eat them raw or like this, in scrambled eggs. |
| The favas are blooming beautifully. These are “Sweet Lorane,” a variety said to have edible inner pods. |
| Multiplier onions and another winter survivor – celery. I sprouted and planted about 8 celery ends last fall, but only one made it. |
| Lambs quarter (in the measuring cup) is one of my favorite wild greens. |
| Here, sauteed with collards and onions from the garden, plus grated carrot. Unfortunately, no garden carrots this spring. |
| Dandelions is another favorite. Usually for salads, but also for… |
| … creamed dandelion soup. |
| Echinacea and lambs ear. Spearmint in the background. I planted jing okra in this bed too, because it’s so pretty. |
| Violets, chicory, yarrow, butterfly weed, and blueberry bushes. Keyhole garden, upper left. |
| Bee balm and oregano. Can you spot the olla lid? |
| Thyme, spearmint, and a (hopefully) heat tolerant rhubarb. Another olla is hidden in the thyme leaves. |
| Yarrow and blueberry bush flowering. |
| Here’s my peppermint, in it’s own container and doing well. |
Still waiting to see how my tomatoes survived their late frost. Some look pretty good and a few look like goners. I filled in the gaps in the row with more seeds of the same tomato varieties, and filled in the rest of the bed with marigold, sweet basil, and Swiss chard seed.
So, that’s it for April. I can’t tell you how many times I refer back to these posts – always a good reference. Do you keep a garden journal? What’s your best method of keeping track of your garden from year to year?
