There are signs that spring will come! The musclun and mache are really showing up now, chives are slowly returning as well as parsley. I've had good luck with Italian parsley overwintering at least one winter and it is returning from last years planting.
I set out organic Red Thumb seed pototoes from Irish Eyes. The Yukon Golds were set out last week and watered in well. Swansons had organic starts of Romensco Broccoli and I thought they would look nice behind a row of lavender and I think it will make a nice border along the patio.
My garlic has grown about 4 inches this last week and all that I planted is growning. I prepared the bed for the garlic with compost, chicken manure and calcuim for no particular reason. This area had never been planted in the last 10+ years but gets plenty of leaf compost from the neighbors birch tree so it ought to be pretty good, the garlic is not in a raised bed but borders the walkway. I planted Nootka Rose, Music, Early and Late Italian, Silver Skin,Spanish Roja,Chesnok Red, Incelium Red, Chinese Purple, Carpathian,Metechi and my past favorite Purple Glazer. Should be enough:-).
