I really wish I had one that I could see through better. <br /><br />Diana, my tatosi doesn't get as big this time of the year as in the fall, but it still grows well. <br /><br />Ali, I seeded them inside on March 15-18th. They went outside on April 7-9th. So they were just over three weeks old going out.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-72806844550845492162011-05-09T10:05:52.986-04:002011-05-09T10:05:52.986-04:00Daphne, when did you seed the Asian greens in the ...Daphne, when did you seed the Asian greens in the above photo?

So I had to import it all and there are no insects in it. The slugs will find my garden I'm sure, but for now it is bliss to garden without slugs.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-14377862405124143812011-05-08T18:32:35.718-04:002011-05-08T18:32:35.718-04:00Katrina, those row covers are really working for m...Katrina, those row covers are really working for me. One of the reasons though is the soil I had brought in is deep and pretty good soil. And there are no insects infesting it yet. I might get into trouble later this year if I have no beneficial insects for the things not under a row cover, but we will see.<br /><br />Granny. lol row covers are amazing. One year I did a trial with spinach. I planted some exactly the same and right next to one other. One side had a row cover and one side didn't. I was picking the row cover side a week before the uncovered ones. And of course no leaf miners. I keep checking the overwintered spinach that has no row cover here. Currently no leaf miners, but they ought to show up any day.<br /><br />wilderness, it was a fabulous day. I got to play online games with my kids in the afternoon too. I miss them since they are so far away, but I love to hear their voices over vent.<br /><br />Holly, thanks<br /><br />Megan, it will be a very nice Harvest Monday considering how early it is.<br /><br />Megan, The vegetable garden has eight 4x16' beds each 63sqft (they aren't really 16', but the boards are). And I have the pretty area in front of the compost outside my kitchen door. That is probably just under 60sqft, but I'm not sure. With the curved beds it is too hard to calculate (actually the calculation isn't hard, but I'm just to lazy to go out and really measure it). So I probably have about 560sqft of vegetable bed. I also have some herb beds which I mix with flowers. I forget how big they are, but I'm guessing 75sqft - but more than half of that is in flowers not herbs. This doesn't include the rest of the yard which has fruit trees and berries mixed in with the purely ornamentals. <br /><br />Tessa, no it wasn't really work. But I did work up a sweat and I got my exercise. <br /><br />GrafixMuse, I usually love to garden for about half the day. Then I want to do something else. But half the day is great.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-6396644433200670672011-05-08T18:15:54.712-04:002011-05-08T18:15:54.712-04:00Your garden looks GREAT!
