There are 20 flats of little plants to be taken out every morning and brought in every evening. This will last until Friday (tax day). The plants will be set out in the garden then except for the ones that will be transferred to larger pots for the Master Gardener’s® plant sale on the 30th of April at the Farmer’s Market. This is a pretty exciting event. Most of the plants are grown organically by Master Gardeners®, but without that label of course.
Today begins the Wing Haven plant sale. Today is for members only. One can join for $45 and get a discount and a first shot at the plants. Tomorrow the sale will be open to the general public. My shopping list includes a couple more blueberry plants. Someday there will be a blueberry hedge all the way across the front of the yard.
On Friday all of the potatoes in the potato bag had sprouted. Probably by the weekend, they will need to have a little dirt added. Yesterday a large shopping bag was filled with spinach to be frozen tonight. The spinach was getting very large and it is almost time for it to start bolting. Maybe the very heavy picking will keep it producing for a while.
