Spring Continues... planting has started

Once again we are at the start of new growing season.  The only real difference is the month that we are starting.  Today, April 1, was actually the second planting in the garden.  We added another row of spinach, 9 romaine lettuce, and 8 bibb lettuce under the temporary hoop house.  I also planted 12 Packman broccoli, and 8 kohlrabi that will have to learn to work with the outside temperature.

The inside plants continue to  progress well with the Oasis Rootcube medium.  I did pick up another one for add-on plantings throughout the year.

Pictures next week.

Onions are planted and up!

Onions are planted 2 weeks now.  We put in 1gm of Ringmaster and 1gm of Red Amposta.  The biggest change I made this year was to plant everything in Oasis Horticubes.  Horticubes are a a soil-less block that fits in the 10x20 trays.  We utilized the 162 cube sheet.  Nicely formed and ready to go.

This week I will start planting early lettuce, a few early broccoli, brussels sprouts, and probably some early kale.

Oh the fun of spring.
