Wow! What a buy!

While out on the town with a good looking man (don't worry it was my husband) we stopped buy a store and found two blueberry plants...they look to be like 4 year old plants....for $15.00 a piece. So needless to say we bought them up quick! So now we have a total of 4 blueberry plants so I'm praying for at least a little "mess" of blueberries this year.

Plus we love cherries around this house. Definitely in our oatmeal. So we also purchased two cherry trees. Although as we were planting one of them it felt as though the roots had died, so please pray that it will live.

I'm so glad that we purchased these plants. So today we did planting. We planted our cherry trees, blueberries, broccoli, red cabbage, green cabbage, cauliflower, and 32 sets of red onions. No yellow onions yet because I had to get cleaned up to get dinner on the table. :) Next time though, maybe tomorrow.

It is Done...

Well yesterday I started my cauliflower, broccoli, green cabbage, and red cabbage. We are only planting 4 plants of each right now and going to put each plant in one square foot. Then we will start more from seed and so on. A continuous crop...that's what I'm hoping for right now.

January Gardening

For January I can start my seeds of Broccoli, Cabbage, and Cauliflower. (This is of course based on my average last frost date, which may not be the same as yours). So for January I could have started on the 7th and started Broccoli and Cabbage but I didn't have my seeds yet but what is great is I've planned for a continuous crop so I can start my seeds again on the 21st which is tomorrow. So for future reference:

12 weeks before last frost:
Start: Broccoli and Cabbage seeds (January 7, 2011)

10 weeks before last frost:
Start: Broccoli, Cabbage, & Cauliflower (January 21, 2011)

Also January is a good time to prune fruit trees, grapes, blueberries, roses, etc... But do it later in the month.

Ready to Plant

Wow! I'm so excited my seeds just arrived in the mail. Don't they look beautiful? (Okay I'm a nerd about seeds. I admit it proudly!)

I'm thinking tomorrow I'll start my first seeds indoors...

Since right now as I write we're experiencing...SNOW!
