May 19th garden update

lisa May 19th, 2003

Have finally finished transplanting all my seedlings to larger pots. I am pretty tired of seedlings at this point. I don’t think I want to do this next year - if I have the money, I’d rather buy plants. The amount of work that goes into seedlings is just too much for me.

Anyway, I’ve started hardening off and hopefully next weekend will be the big planting weekend.

This past weekend I laid out the irrigation for my vegetable bed and planted some carrot seeds. It’s really too late to be planting carrots, since they are 70 day vegetables and they spoil above 80 degrees or so. Maybe I can rig up shade cloth or find a cool spot for them and make them work anyway. We’ll see. The second crop this fall will probably be better. I’m not exactly sure how the fall crops are supposed to work, but I’ve got the rest of the carrots, some lettuces, and broccoli for the fall. Will have to calculate carefully in order to get them in at the right time.
