More Work In the Garden

Work in the garden sounds like I actually got to play outside in the dirt. Yesterday I actually got to dig in the dirt some but today I just got seedlings started. Getting a bit of a late start on some of the seedlings but still getting a better start than last year. Last year it was the first week of June before I had anything out in the garden and 100% of my seedlings came from the store. This year, at very least, my squashes and cucurbits will be from seed and the first of the seeds have been planted out in the garden.

Yesterday, 30 April 2013, planted in the garden:
pole beans-8 poles
2 rows each sweet white and red onion
marigolds for the little guy

Planted in the house as starts:
Marketmore Cucumber (4) Replacement for plants eaten by pill bugs. I had the peat pellets transplanted into larger pots and the larger pots sitting on the ground in the greenhouse. The pill bugs climbed up into the pots and cut half my seedlings off at the ground! :( Hubby built me another shelf and the pots are now sitting up well off the ground and the bugs seem to be leaving the remaining plants alone so high hopes for the new starts.
