Spring is fast, working hard

About 50 outside! I am so excited to be outside!

This is my 2 days report.

Planted all the carrots (paper towel mats, 3 days, almost all seed germinated). You can see some paper towel mats are covered with compost and some are not.

also planted a lot of radishes, regular and Asian variety. My overwintered tatsoi is ready to bolt, I am harvesting it now.

 My friend is adding a room to the house, she has a lot of dirt after digging, so we brought some bins of soil in a future greenhouse. I will mi it with my compost. I never had enough compost!

Frame of the hoop house is almost done, but I am too busy with other stuff like plating and cleaning than building now.

 A llok at the garden - green in a cold frame.

 First peas - planted on March 10.

 Onion Stuttgarter planted today.

 Strawberries are alive - so nice!. I transplanted them in the middle of the winter.

 Some brassicas are ready to transplant.

 All of them in place.

 Look at those roots!
Napa cabbage Munuet

 4 of them are very good, I hope the weather will be not cold for them.









Kohlrabi

 Kale blue dwarf












Today was a big clean-up day.
This was a End of the Garden Mess - actually raspberry patch. A lot of fall leaves were collected there. And rocks, and twigs....

I cleaned everything, checked all the raspberry (I have 2nd year transplants), pruned them, added compost.



Is it the same place?
I also added trellis support.

 And those are new guys in the garden!
Gooseberry

 Raspberry jewel

 Black currants behind the raspberries.

Now I can see The Spring!

The weather is getting better, I am so excited!

So it is official spring clean-up time.


The daffodils bed before

 ... and after!

Now I see they are alive.

I also cleaned some leaves, pruned some shrubs.....oh, so much to do!

I also worked on seed mats with morning.
I marked the board with 2x2 and 3x3. I do not like the idea to use glue, I just divided paper towel in 2 pieces and sprayed the first one,

 Those are radish seeds, I have many Asian variety to try this year.
Than I cover them with second part of paper towel and sprayed again.
Folded, put a name an stored in closed contained!

I believe radishes with germinate in 2-3 days, carrots probably later.
