N&C Midwest: March & April 2023
Started preparing for spring planting today. Prepped two sections of a raised bed for planting in a couple weeks. Refreshed the soil mix with some coarse vermiculite to add to the 5-year-old mixture, and added some compost.
This section of the bed will be planted with spring (green) onions in about 2 weeks.
The section in the front of the bed will be planted with Kale and Swiss Chard in about 3 weeks.

Never plant without a bucket of compost at your side.

Re: N&C Midwest: March & April 2023
The tree trimmer dropped of 10 yards of wood chips, so I started refreshing the chips around the raised beds. The original chips had composted down so much that the soil was showing through them, so it is in need of some more chips. I got about 1/4th of the new chips down before it started raining yesterday.

Beautiful pics - now as for me.. I've got peppers/eggplants up.. lettuce/greens/herbs are up, and just seeded the tomatoes - and I'm out of room under the lights.
Looking forward to spring and moving things to the patio containers.

Re: N&C Midwest: March & April 2023
Still planning here, need to clean out a couple beds and do a refresh. Will be ready to put in some spinaches and radishes in a couple weeks. Also will be time then to start my flowers! Nasturtiums, marigolds for sure. Will be interesting to see if the fall planted bulbs come up, I hope so!

Jealous
I am so jealous of some of the better weather that is somewhere in the Midwest. Not by me, It's cold here near Chicago.
I tried to turn my newly created compost pile today and its still frozen. Yuk.

Don’t despair! Glad to meet ya! Spring is a capricious friend. We cannot get too crazy! Plenty of time to grow.danieggert wrote:I am so jealous of some of the better weather that is somewhere in the Midwest. Not by me, It's cold here near Chicago.

I am suspicious of this weather…what do you want to eat/grow?
