Here's what's happening in the garden

Yesterday I didn't go for a walk, and yet, my Fitbit said I made 14,868 steps.  I tilled the garden and put the few plants I bought Thursday at Colonial Gardens in my own dirt.  All the plants that can be planted early were 40 percent off.

Celery, simply because I've never grown it before 

Tomatoes, four different varieties.  I'm trying to find tomatoes that can "fight the blight".  I have two new varieties coming from Burpees that are supposed to not ever have blight at all.  I'll believe it when I see it.  These were full price, not 40 percent off

Berries are doing well.

Red Cabbage, 40 percent off

Strawberries looking good

onions and potatoes

I'll have more fun outside today!

  1. The only way I have found to fight the blight it to heavily mulch under them so that there is no soil splash back when it rains. I have never considered planting celery. I'll be curious as to how well it does for you.

    1. I do that, but it doesn't work for me.

    It’s amazing how strawberries spread and fill an area. Galla Creek

  5. What kind of onions do you grow? I'm going to try Candy onions this year.
