More Garden Work

 

More asparagus this morning.  

DS worked on the front porch flower beds, cleaning them up of dead wood.  I did the wildflower area in the back, the raised beds in the back and the scent garden behind the garage.  Things are looking good.  I feel like we are way ahead of cleanup this year.  

Today I planted seeds of looseleaf lettuce, baby kale, swiss chard and of course more broccoli rabe. 

Very happy to see that the Concord Grape Vine I had planted bareroot last fall is doing well.  I will be planting a second one (this one seedless) once I get my Stark Bros. order.  Also getting 25 more strawberry plants and 10 Asparagus Plants.

  I am always adding these every year as my goal is to be swimming in asparagus over the year.     There is a wooded property in my town that was an asparagus farm in the 50's and 60's.     I always mentioned it to anyone with me when we drove by.  My daughter says I'm the new asparagus farm in town.  

I also spread 5 lbs of pollinator wildflower seed mix.  I have certain areas of the yard I just want to be full of color and texture.  I can then have fresh flowers in the house more often.
