Get Your Garden Growing
I have been eager to get out in my
gardens since February when I started my first seedlings. They have now been
transplanted. Some are already in the ground and I can not wait to get home to
see the progress they have made today. After doing a bit of research on growing
Heirloom Tomatoes I realize the
ones I have planted are not far enough in the ground. The lessons never end for
the home gardener! I am sad that we are not at The Springfield Farmer's Market every week as it was always such a luxury to consult with one of
the master gardener's. If you are looking for something to do this coming
Saturday, Ryan Voiland of Red Fire Farm will be giving a workshop on growing
Heirloom Tomatoes, it starts at 11am at their farm, you will find details here. He truly is the local expert on the
subject.
This weekend I am hoping to
deconstruct one garden to make room for a proper greenhouse and get some of my
companion flowers in with the vegetables so that the beds will start to show some
color. Hopefully by memorial day most of the hard labor will be completed and I
can start thinking about what to do with the katadin potatoes, patty pan squash,
garbanzo beans, listadada eggplant, rainbow kale, etc....
