Easter Rising

The zucchini and yellow crookneck squash are one thing that is rising. The cucumbers came up on Good Friday. The squash came up on rotten Saturday and the nasturtiums bloomed. Some beautiful lilies of some type with pretty blue flowers bloomed this morning. (Easter Sunday).

The plants that have been set out over the last week are doing well. 3 cherry peppers had to be replaced. Two of the early girl tomatoes have bitten the dust (out of 14). Those are the only casualties so far. The early girls will have to be replaced with something else. All of the early girl plants have already been planted or given away. Mick McNeely has promised some Rutgers tomatoes. That will be a good replacement.

The grass in the backyard was definitely deep enough for a good Easter egg hunt. That has been taken care of now and the accumulation bin of the compost system is full. The blueberries are being dosed with coffee grounds. The 1st 2 were done today. More grounds will need to be accumulated before the other 4 plants can be dosed.
