I've heard it was good to plant potatoes on Good Friday. So I did that. I planted two more approximately 4 ft rows in the garden, without a tunnel this time. I also went ahead and planted some summer squash. Three hills of that. We'll see if they get froze out or not.
The things I planted under the tunnel a month ago (or was it just a few weeks ago?) are doing ok. The potatoes have a few real leaves on them, the radish is up (I thinned that a little today) and the peas are up. I even saw a marigold seedling or two.
Other planting I did was to plant some seed disks that we received from my SIL Sonja. I put these in a big round pot that we purchased for our front porch area. I also threw on some other seeds, I think marigold and morning glory.
We also purchased a couple of smaller square planters for the back patio. I had enough dirt to fill two and a half of them. I planted these with seeds as well, using up old seed. Nicotiana, Marigold, Petunia, Daisy Garden" to name a few. We'll see if they sprout! lol. Figured I should use what I have instead of just buying annuals at a store.
I ALSO started some seeds downstairs on my light stand. I am actually kind of late for that, but I did it anyway. I planted tomatoes and green peppers. Again I used up my oldest seed, and I still have plenty of seed left! I planted rosemary, dill, basil, and ? .. can't remember for sure. The zinnia I started in the greenhouse that Joel gave me got put in a slightly bigger pot. And the basil I had started just before New Year's I also potted up into larger pots. My fingers are still dirty, probably should go wash them! lol.
So I did a lot of planting today .. What did you do for Good Friday?
