Good morning gardeners. It looks like Spring is just about here in New England. I plan on getting the potatoes in the dirt this afternoon. Will also put some seedlings in the hoop garden. Another cucumber seedling is just now awakening. Oh goody. The nasturtium "seedlings" are going crazy looking for something to climb on. So sorry about the mites
@WthrLady. The potatoes I'm planting are grocery store potatoes that started sprouting like crazy on top of my refrigerator. I cut them up then put them in a bag of dirt after they dried out for a few days. They are growing like crazy in the plastic bag and really need to go outside now. Feeding a family of your size
@FortCluck will take more garden space than what you've mentioned. However, Being in Central Virginia, cold frames are a great way to extend your growing season. Also, planting cold season crops like cabbage, collards, kale and rutabagas would provide more vegetables in the colder months. I have just under 300 square feet of garden area for vegetables and herbs and that isn't enough to supply 100% of my vegetable requirements. Close, but not quite. I can and freeze as well, but I still buy some fresh produce in the middle of winter. But planting and growing as much as you can will be a definite benefit. Congratulations
@TropicalBabies on the "wild child's" first egg. You know they will get bigger. Have a great day everyone.
