Yesterday:
24 Basil (Thai, Emily, Genovese & Lettuce Leaf)
8 Celery (Tango & Self-Blanching)
8 Parsley (Flat Leaf & Plain)
6 Cilantro (All Slow Bolt)
I realize that I have to plant more though - I have space in the garden for 16 celery plants (4 square feet with 4 plants per square foot), and obviously I will need more cilantro. The good thing about cilantro though is that it self seeds and comes back every year, so I am just planting these as supplemental cilantro to the plants I know will grow in the herb garden by themselves.
The plants from Monday are already coming up - Thai Sai, Bak Choi, Early Jersey Wakefield, Kale, and three types of broccoli are up (Nutri-Bud, Calibrese, & Purple). The cauliflower isn't up yet and neither is the DiCicco broccoli.
And today I also started saving my coffee grounds again. I had almost no snails in the garden last year after I started spreading the coffee grounds around the lettuce and cucumbers!
I use coffee grounds in my garden as well! What zone are you located in? It is always fascinating to read about what is grown in other zones.
ReplyDeleteI'm in zone 5. Coffee grounds work great! It sounds like you may be in the southern zones - maybe FL like my daughter Brittany? I can't believe how the weather this winter is influencing my decisions about when to plant - I'm taking the risk of planting way too soon!
ReplyDeleteHi, My name is Paul, I want to learn more about vegetable gardening, but with a "hands on" approach. I live in Orland Park in a 2 bedroom condo with no land to grow a garden. Was wondering if I could share and learn about gardening. In trade I could help out with gardening chores and could offer half of my heirloom seeds, this is what I have:

Hi Paul, I would love to help out with a hands-on approach to learning about veggie gardening. You have a ton of seeds for someone with no space to garden - you must have lots of dreams! I don't need seeds, I just want to help people grow food for themselves, so let me know how much space you have, or how many pots you have, and how much sun you get and I'll try to help as much as I can.
