This weekend I've got to get the potatoes and corn planted. The corn's gotta be knee high by the Fourth of July, And don't forget to plant your beans. It's the start of the warm season. Get those starts in your garden. I'm going to wait until mid May to put the tomatoes out. So much work to do...</div>

This weekend was a typical wet April weekend where you try to get a few things done. After bringing the dogs down to the back acre, We made the gates taller to chicken proof the garden. Checked on and watered the warm weather starts. And mowed the lawn regardless of the rain.</div>

Twenty eight in all.<br />

Here are examples of each kind:<br />

We ordered 25 and they sent two free ones, one that is a exotic chick. They all made the trip in their little mothership of a box.<br />

After a week and a half they are starting to get their wings and stretch their limbs. We lost three from the bunch, but they seem to have stabilized. I'm sure there's some percentage of chick mortality figures out there...<br />

outdoors in the Pacific Northwest? Hardy leafy greens and spring peas.
Green onions, Cilantro, Radishes, Turnips, Spinach, Swiss Chard,
Potatoes. Under a cloche you can sow baby carrots, parsley, broccoli,
cabbage, beets, endive, and lettuce. There's still time to start
indoors; your tomatoes, peppers, celery, and leeks. Time to start your
Zinnias indoors.</span><br />

When your seedlings form their second set of leaves, it's time to transplant them into individual containers. They can then form a good root ball that will take them into the garden or a bigger container. Yesterday I transplanted the lemon cucumbers, cabbage, endive and lettuce. There will be more this coming weekend.</div>

We also finished the onion box made of a wood box that contained metal roofing from the barn. Onions don't need a deep box, so this will be perfect for planting my Walla Walla starts when they are a little bigger.<br />

Like our pond is the center of the frog universe where all the male frogs have come to woo their women. It's not just our pond though, but all the ponds and interconnecting streams that surround this neighborhood that sings.<br />

Tonight we learned to wet felt using some beautiful wool. I chose a luscious orangy, almost terra cotta color. This is the first step to completing a pair of felted mittens.<br />
<br />
First we laid our thin layers of carded wool in three layers, the grain facing opposite directions.<br />

And yet my song comes native with the warmth.<br />

<i>In view of her recent stormy mood, Nature seemed full of regretful relentings on Monday, and, as if to make amends for her harshness, assumed something of a summer softness.

By mid February, most seeds have come up. I'll separate and transplant them into containers in a week or two. <br />

<br />
There's many ways to start your seeds. For the longest time I started them in peat pellets, but now that I'm planting more, there are flats that you can use. In January I only had a few different plants that I could start, so I used a non-divided flat and just divided it off by hand. In February, there were so many different plants I could start, and wanting to maximize space, used a subdivided flat. Each row holds a different kind and can hold a lot of seeds, more than the average garden can hold, so you've maximized your growing space under your lights.<br />
<br />

<br />
All your seeds need is light, moisture and warmth. To start them, when it's chilly out, use your warming pad to start the process. Keep the light on them twenty four hours a day. Babies like the light and are in a continuous state of vegetative growth. Just don't let them dry out. <br />

All the seeds they carry to their knowledge are non-GMO seeds. <br />
<br />
It's nice to know the seeds you buy are suited for the Pacific Northwest. Many stores buy preset generic sets of seeds which may or may not be the best choice for your area. I always spend a little time researching the seeds before buying so I won't be wasting my time later, but if you can find a seed company that does it for you, you're already ahead of the game.<br />

I always choose President's Day, this year February 17th, because officially you can plant peas and onions outside. The rush of spring just knocking on the garden gate.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I love chinese snow peas; the magenta flowered Carouby de Maussane pea is my favorite. You don't have to plant too many because they are prolific producers. The flowers are gorgeous, and to the naked eye, seductively beautiful. In addition, this year I'm planting Knight Pea and Early Frosty Pea.<br />

Well over here in the Northwest, it's been pretty mild so get your garden gloves on. Take a look at your beds and start dreaming of what to put in them.<br />
<br />
I've got some compost this year and some good dirt to add to them. I'm going to cloche a couple of them so I can work them a little earlier than the others. <br />
<br />
I saw this pallet garden idea that looked so intriguing that I want to try it. You can staple some landscape fabric on the bottom and fill with dirt. I'm thinking at an angle propped against a wall would be cool, or stacked for a raise bed look. <br />

That way you can adjust and help your garden. I moved eleven miles away; away from the Puget Sound, higher in elevation, more centered in the convergence zone and in a sunnier patch of earth, changing the timing of the garden. All said, I know I have a better location than the one at my other house.<br />
<br />
Today I sowed indoors:<br />
<br />
<b><i>Flowers</i></b> ~ Viola, Heliotrope, Pansy, Lavender<br />
<br />
<b><i>Herbs and Vegetables</i></b> ~ Parsley, Tomato (Stupice, Yellow Pear, Oregon Spring), Pepper (Cubenelle, King of the North), Cabbage, Cucumber (Lemon, Boston Pickling), Califlower, Celery, Celeriac, Beet, Broccoli and Asperagus.<br />
<br />
The January seedlings are almost ready to be transplanted to individual containers.<br />

know of nothing that makes one feel more complacent...than to have
vegetables from his own garden...It's a kind of declaration of
independence. --Charles Dudley Warner (My Summer in a Garden)</span></i><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">As spring draws nearer, bypassing winter I look forward to it as soon as the winter solstice arrives. January I start plotting and planning, planting a few things inside in January.</span><i><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"> </span></i><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Winter doesn't exist<i> </i>if I don't let it.</span><i><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"> </span></i><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Every year the garden gets a little better. Mostly because after moving here 4 years ago I'm finding my routine so I can focus on building up the garden. </span><br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><br /></span>
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">The first thing I had to do is find the best location on the property (2.32 acres). So I took notice of where the sunniest spot was during all seasons of the year.</span><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"> Where was the sunniest spot for the longest amount of time during the day? After I found that, Larry and I started building the garden. 4 x 8 ft 12" raised beds. We built 8 boxes and ordered in some dirt. We started with them half full the first year, because it took a lot of dirt and sweat just to get them that full. Every year we add more dirt and compost to the boxes so little by little they'll end up full.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Every year is a learning lesson. What didn't work, what did well, how much to plant and how much not to. Always at the end of the year, you already want the next to start so you can do it better. </span><br />

often I stop and think (one must) of the hidden life in the cellar

garden, whom the plucking has not quite killed, and who, without light,
barely breathing, live like fakirs, or in limbo. --Fernand Lequenne (My
Friend the Garden)</span></i><br />

I'll be cleaning the floor and painting it then erecting walls with a door. The plastic shelves work well because they have good venting and will not rust. I may build some different shelving of wood as well as use another shelf like this.</span>Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099335195458122077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215114043300128325.post-14272005021018310682014-01-22T19:47:00.000-08:002014-02-01T19:32:43.558-08:00January Babies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Fifty five days til spring. That's less than 2 months to plan your garden. All the seeds I planted this month are coming up. The little Walla Walla seedlings, Leeks, Lettuce mix, petunias and snapdragons bringing up the rear.<br />
<br />
I have several projects planned this year. How many I'll actually get done, we'll see at the end of the year. One project is building a cloche. Another is a cold storage room in my basement. Then there's work on the alpaca pen, a strawberry barrel and other ideas. One needs more time to the day. <br />
<br />
This weekend we're going to the North Sound Alpaca Association's Winter Social for good food and presentations. It's a good learning experience every time we go. <br />
