I'm still kind of coasting on gardening this year, but I haven't been completely inactive.
First, on the coasting, I've got some blooms showing up from prior years:
 |
| The trout lilies have made a big patch, but not so many blooms |
 |
| The bloodroot continues to shine bright It moves around as the ants plant seeds |
 |
| The sole remaining tulip from a big bunch planted in 2019. |
I do have plans for vegetables this year. I've rearranged some things in the yard, because I realized the parking pad I built for the Vespa was the sunniest spot in the whole yard. So I moved the Vespa, and I'll be doing Greenstalks on the parking pad. (Need to build a new pad for the Vespa but right now its on the dirt.) I'm rotating crops in the ground - I'll grow cruciferous veggies in the raised bed where the zucchini was last year. I got a six pack of broccoli at Home Depot and plopped them in there, after topping off the bed with LeafGro and compost. I plan to put tomatoes in the half of the big raised bed where I had the corn and beans last year, and zucchini in the half where the tomatoes were. I'll need to put some tomatoes in pots.

The hard thing is deciding how to fill up three 4-tier greenstalks - a total of 72 planting pockets. I need to get going on seed starts or buying plants will bankrupt me!
