I planted out the leek seedlings and crammed in more radishes and onions. We are harvesting greens, chives, radishes, cilantro and parsley. And using fresh herbs. There are still 4 beds to fill with beans and cucumbers. And pole beans along the side fence. Then big spots in the main garden bed.
I still need to plant: pole beans, runner beans, sunflowers, chamomile (if it is not too late) and green onion this month. Oh and my straggler potatoes...
In June I will plant 2 types of cucumbers, lacinato kale (for the fall winter), some more green onions and see if I can squeeze in a few piumpkins, acorn, and butternut squash!?! And then a huge bed of tomato and basil seedlings.
It was suggested I consider a clear roof for the tomatoes, but not close them in. They will need fresh air.
In July we will think about fall/ winter harvest but maybe not plant till August.
The grass is taking over. I am trying to keep it down. I can't wait to invest in pea gravel next year!!
Other jobs to do:
-mulch strawberry plants with straw
-weed and mulch raspberries etc with compost to suppress weeds
-feed with fish fertilizer
-watch for signs of mildew
-protect from codling moth
-tie raspberry canes to bamboo poles
-keep tomato seedlings in pots till they flower
