After turning the compost, and feeling very glad that it seems the rat has vacated the composter, and getting the gorgeous leaf mold/black gold of decayed maple branches and grapevines & leaves off the driveway to add to the sheet mulch project in the side yard, I found myself still not satisfied with the days labors.
I broke down and started some seeds. While it is ridiculously early for seeds I have hope that they will flourish and thrive. The last frost date is listed as May 11. May 11?!?!? How am I supposed to wait so long?
So, in peat pots now are
Nasturtiums (half the seeds safely waiting direct sowing)
Small Sugar Pumpkins
Snow Peas (some saved for direct sowing or trade)
Sweet peppers
Cherry Tomatoes (some seed saved for trade or direct sowing, I hardly need 48 plants)
As soon as the temps get higher I'll be ready with my onion, lettuces, nasturtiums, and hopefully some spinach.
This is my most ambitious gardening project ever. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I am going to give it a go regardless.
