Garden Happenings

Potatoes going in Grow Bags, I believe I have 10 bags in all.  The bottoms were filled with a mixture of compost and potting mix, the seeds set in, and then covered with more mix and straw.

Here are the LaRatte Fingerlings in one bed, I planted this and another one slightly smaller.

The new grape and arbor was added onto the original behind the asparagus bed.  Behind the grapes is a new bed for 5 blackberries, and two raspberries....we are still in the construction phase as the canes have not arrived yet.  Still needing to find a spot for my second currant and rhubarb that is coming.  AAGGHH! Runing out of room!  So frustrating when we have almost 2 acres of land.

Some micro greens from today's thinning.  Beets, Radish, Chard, Arugula, and Hon Tsai Tai....YUM!

How cool do these currant buds look?  I had never seen them before, it is reminding of grape clusters.

I decided to use this tub as a planter for my 4 lowbush blueberries.  They remain quite small and only require a foot a piece, so this is snug but should do.  If not I will just transplant at a later date.

In addition to all the expansion and planting I sowed some more seeds today as well.  Things are finally coming together nicely thanks to a good friend who brought over a couple truckloads of dirt/compost for me.  The new beds are almost full, I am off to hill and cover the sweet potato bed up with black mulch...those slips will be here before I know it!!!

Edit:  Those micro-greens made a mighty fine pizza topping for lunch!

New Arrivals

The order I placed over at Edible Landscaping arrived today. After Travis was done with his inspection I opened her up......unfortunately, the item I have been pining for arrived damaged, but hopefully it will recover and will not need to be replaced.

Notice the top of my poor little fig down in front of the container rather than up on top of the stem where it belongs. Also included in the order is an ornamental citrus called Flying Dragon, and a Blanca White Current. The fig will not be winter hardy in my zone 6, so it will spend the summers on the deck and come in inside for the coldest months of the year. (It's pot has been patienly awaiting it's arrival, visible in the backround of the photo along with all the other stuff.) I have some work to do.....
