Garden Update May 11, 2023. The raised planters on the patio are working well this year! They seem to have protected the lettuce and radishes from a few cold nights. I was able to pull a handful of radishes today…yum!
We had two kinds of radishes…the longer ones were milder.
Bert rototilled the two small raised beds near the patio.
I planted potatoes that had sprouted in the bag in the kitchen.
Potatoes ready to be covered up!
The second planter will have beets and herbs. Hopefully, the deer won’t find them too delicious and handy!
Up in the garden on the hill, we replaced our lavender plants…trying to find the right kind that will give me fragrant flower buds through the summer.

Echinacea
We’re keeping the tomato plants under grow lights for another week or two…we’ve made the mistake of planting them out too early in the past and a late frost killed them!
Super Sauce tomato plants still safe under grow lights!
We’ll fill in the garden on the hill with the tomatoes, green and yellow beans, carrots and Delicata squash. Spring gardening is so filled with hope! Enjoy!
