Nothing beats a beautiful Colorado spring day with sunshine working in the garden
Today I did my final turn over and rake out and planted my early spring vegetables!
As always my mother is the most amazing source of gardening how too and tested me that the final frost was not expected until May 31 so I should not plant my potatoes yet.
Here is what I planted today:
Garlic
Lettuce
Spinach
Radish
Pak choi
Carrots
Onions
I blocked out my whole garden ahead of time to plan what I would put in the garden and what to put in pots (since I will run out of space) then used craft sticks to plan the rows
Then I turn around the sticks for vegetables that I haven't planted yet and then hoe the rows
Cover with dirt and little stamp down with your feet, when everything is planted water well.I chose to use the miracle grow fertilizer that attaches to your hose as week.
Water daily if not twice a day
Here in Colorado, it is still a little too cold at night to turn on our sprinkler system and we are on watering restrictions, so I will be hand watering until it warms up and I can convert my existing garden sprinklers to drip irrigation
I love gardening and am so glad my mom imparted get green thumb to us.
Another bonus,I used pintrest to help me officially companion plant this year.
Happy spring!
