The time has come to plant your garden, whether indoors or out. Start seeds, amend soils, and bring dreams into reality this month. Soon you’ll taste the rewards of today’s toil. But it’s not really toil, it’s a labor of love. May this Wordless Wednesday inspire your gardening activities this week.
Barry’s Crazy Cherry tomato sprouts under grow lights.Black Magic kale sprouts under grow lights. It’s bred to be durable in hot weather.Winter volunteer cilantro begins to bolt to seed, attracting beneficial insects to the garden. Potatoes harvested from the winter garden, making room for squash plantings to come. Good news, you can grow them in spring too!Our first eggs from 4 of our 5 hens. Spring is definitely here.We relocated these volunteer tomatoes to a pot. We’ll see how they do.Strawberries are waking up from dormancy.Loquats are ripening as the days grow longer. Volunteer Borage and Nasturtiums provide habitat, pollen and nectar for beneficial insects. Parsnips and black radishes are still growing as winter comes to a close. You can grow these in spring if you have cool temperatures.
As the days grow longer and temperatures warm up (and #Februburied comes to an end), throw out wildflower seeds, turn your compost pile, and make way for spring.
Beautiful. Much of your planting season seems similar to us in Houston.
