Seeds that can be planted in FebruaryPotatoes...PaTahToes...it's all spuds to us!
Seed potatoes--Yukon Gold and Red River Valley--were planted this morning. A light mist pervaded the air and it made your Community Gardeners realize once again how wisely and generously God made the earth. Everything we need is here.
Spinach and lettuce were also planted, along with snow peas. The spinach seed was leftover from 2008 and may not germinate...we'll see in about 12 days, but the snow peas are a 2010 variety packaged for this year and we can confidently expect to see them popping up in about 10 days. It will be about 3 weeks before the potatoes make their appearance.
Kale, leeks, and onions can be planted now, as well as Kohlrabi, but we promise not to plant that since it tastes filthy and isn't interesting to look at. Why plant stuff you don't want to eat and looks ugly too?
Iron sulfate was put down on the fruit trees and the blueberry bushes. We didn't have much luck with these guys last year--too hot and bothered, we guess--but we've been reading about their care and feeding and expect (hope) that they'll do better this year.

Reserve your spot in the garden soon. In the mean time, talk with Jill or Dave Stice about their plans for the new Children's Garden, or to Susan Krotz about the small Prayer Garden she is planning this summer and fall.
