There is no way that there will be 15 posts this month. I will try to do better next month. The snow kept me out of the garden for the most part, but the greenhouse is doing well. The “new regime” seems to be keeping more of the plants alive and healthy. There was an organic liquid fertilizer in a spray bottle that attaches to the hose at Home Depot. It makes a really nice spray. At first the spray seemed too heavy. The water pressure was turned down and it got worse. The pressure was turned all the way up and by standing back from the plants a nice sprinkle was achieved.
The snow seemed to perk up some of the things in the garden. Others are just beyond hope. They are now in the compost pile. New seeds have been purchased along with a roll of 1.5 mil polyethylene. 2 raised beds will be converted to tunnels so that they can be covered on extremely cold nights.
The greenhouse is filled to capacity with sprouted and un-sprouted plants. The cabbage, broccoli and pak choy can possibly be transferred to the garden once the tunnels are finished. They would normally be planted outside in mid-February anyway.
