April 3rd what we did


Hello gardeners!
Well what a storm that was yesterday! The roads and yards are full of tree detritus!
Today was the first burn day in April, and so there was some picturesque, fir-scented smoke today. And what did we do in the digs garden today?

(click on above picture to make larger then back button to return here.)

We:
- had a table with giant onions for folks to pick up for the contest of growing the biggest onion (many left, please contact DIGS if you'd like to be in the giant contest. :>)
- put up pea supports and planted peas in bed no. 2.
- note: the snow peas are at the topmost end of bed 2, with white marking sticks
- raked and cleaned up around the compost area
- dug trenches and filled with good compost for our new asparagus plants
- checked the greenhouse for water and ventilation; greenhouse now has the following crops: mesclun, (oriental and regular), spinach, leeks, lettuce and I believe that some tomato seeds were planted.
- Jim had extra celery plants which he donated to us, and those will stay in the greenhouse until it's warm enough to plant out too. (thanks Jim.)

We had coffee and chatted about a two year crop rotation planning guide, which we all sat around and decided about. See next post for details on how the two year planning guide works.
And anyone who'd like to add more details about the garden from today, please do email and I'll add them here.
Best, Jen
