As I write this I'm bathed by sunlight as the past 5 days rain has subsided. As we all know, living on the SW Oregon Coast, the rain will return. More than likely Sunday!
As we slog into out prime growing season it's time to get some chores done.
The list below covers all of April/May chores so we can catch up. Happy Gardening and be sure to follow our blog and comment below if you have questions.
Here is an image of my personal greenhouse, it ain't pretty but it gets the job done!
Succession Sow in the garden:
Peas, onions, lettuce, dill and root crops (carrots, radish, potatoes etc.)
Butter Crunch Lettuce
Initial sowing in the garden or transplant your seedlings
Cabbage, Broccoli, potatoes, onion sets
Seedlings ready to sow
Start seeds indoors
Squash, Melon, Cucumber, basil
My favorite squash. It's a vegetable but tastes and cooks like a potato
Thin Seedlings
Lettuce, leafy greens, carrots if planted in your garden
Carrots thinned but weeding is constant
First sowing:
Bush or Pole Beans, Peas
Heirloom 'Can/Freezer' beans from the National Seed Bank
Harden off - (place your indoor grown seedlings outdoors during the day to get them acclimated for a minimum of 7 days)
Tomatoes and Peppers, melons and cucumbers
I've sown some tomatoes in my greenhouse. The seedlings are waiting for better weather to be transplanted outdoors. I may need to re pot them.
