Vegetable Garden Update-March 09

Tina's Veggie Garden Update: Vegetable gardening is beginning to get ramped up! Yeah for March, a good month for veggies. I have planted starts of: red cabbage, lettuce, and Brussels sprouts. Growing from last fall and shown above are onions and garlic. I sowed all kinds of seeds, including: mesclun, radishes, beets and peas. Unfortunately the peas are a no show. I will be heading off to the store to buy some more since the ones I planted two weeks ago have failed to germinate. Apparently pea seeds don't stay viable for long, or critters ate them all because I just can't find them in the soil anywhere. Who knew? Sigh.
Here is a long shot of the vegetable garden. Not much green other than the garlic and onions, but that's okay. Come summer this garden will be a mass of greenery that is so lush and full that one can barely walk through the garden. I kind of like the vegetable garden like this, nice and neat. The bananas have not yet made their appearance in the center concrete rimmed bed, but I expect any day they'll be up. Which reminds me that I must move that bale of hay. Spring is such a busy time for me in not only the vegetable garden, but the entire garden, so if you'll excuse me, I'm....

in the garden....

Skeeter's Veggie Garden Update:Yep, this is my Georgia garden bed standing in water. I think we may start our veggie garden out as a Container Garden once again this year. When Mother Nature throws you too much water, make a Container Garden I say!

Here is a Once flower bed turned veggie bed. I cleared out all the fall debris and planted seeds of lettuce, spinach, carrots and radish. We already have a row of radish as you can see in the picture to the right.

The carrots to the left, the lettuce in the middle and what I assume to be the spinach in the picture to the right are popping up as well. We have never planted spinach before so this will be a new experience for us in the garden.

I have slips of cabbage that really need to be put into the ground but with the garden so soggy, I believe they will find their way into a planter or container temporarily.

I also have some tomatoes planted from seed popping up. I will talk more about them another time. So things are starting to pop for me with a VEGETABLE GARDEN UPDATE-MARCH 09, In the Garden...
