Spring has definitely sprung! Most of the spring gardens are planted and doing well. Lettuce, Carrots, Turnips, Onions, Garlic, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Spinach, Beets, Banana Peppers, and Cabbage. We will put in a few more things before summer fully sets in such as, Mellon's, Zucchini, and Green Beans. The new raised beds are doing well. I hope to have more put in at the end of the year for a total of about 18 6x3 foot 6 inch high raised cedar beds. These are all planted in a hybrid square foot/lasagna garden approach. I love raised beds they are neat and tidy and are wonderful to work with. Each spring I am easily able to get in and work up (accually I never even turn the soil anymore!) the beds nearly 2 to 4 weeks before most gardeners in the area. Due to the heavy spring rains this year I was able to get plants in before most gardeners were able to even begin the process of tilling.
