IN the gardens

 We are getting enough aspargus for a couple meals every other 3 days.

Snow peas,peas, radishes,spinach, couple different lettuces, carrots and beets are coming up.  

I fertilized the strawberries and blueberries.

We had sever storms all night, will have them again tonight and rain daily the rest of the week. BUT in a few days we will have lows in the mid 20s... yes FREEZING temps for 4 days. So the day before that hits no matter what the weather we will be covering garden beds.

I chitted the potatoes...ummm cut them in sections,making sure there are 2-3 eyes and some of the potato to feed them as they start to grow. I have 6 varieties as Daughter 2 was going to start gardening , and I was sharing. She realized that not only did she not have the $$ to start that but didn't have enough time working 2 jobs to make ends meet. Daughter 4 had kept track  a few years ago of the cost and time and shared that with her.  I told her to start with like a tomato plant , lettuce and scallions but she didn't want to set up a water barrel at this time and can't water the garden with city water.  

Grow cart veggies are doing decent. I did have 2 that died so I will start them again this week.
