This picture is from Friday. All of the onions had sprouted as had the butternut squash and one of the watermelon seeds. I need to think out the spouts to one per pod, but will wait until I can tell which one is stronger. I went to Flower World (my favorite place) while Princess was recovering at the vet from surgery. I selected 1 blueberry bush and 2 raspberry plants. I want another type of raspberries, but they didn't have the ones I want in stock. Raspberries are my favorite fruit so I'm kind of a snob :) The plants I got are ever-bearing so I will have a crop in the fall and another next spring.
I also purchased asparagus bulbs. This was a great find! I have learned asparagus takes 3 years to grow from seed. The bulbs I found are 2 years old so if all goes well, I will be able to harvest this year! The other bulbs I found are garlic. We will see how that grows....I really have no idea.
I purchased 2 rhubarb plants. I don't know how old they are, but typically you can't harvest until the second year, so I probably won't have any this year.
I found seeds for self-blanching cauliflower, broccoli, sugar pumpkins, and spinach.
Today I planted all of my new purchases. I also checked on the indoor starts again. Here is today's photo....I can't believe the amount of growth in 2 days! The celery seeds have now sprouted as have some of the tomatoes! Things are growing!!
When I was planting outside, I noticed tiny, hardly visible sprouts in the arugula and one of the lettuce squares. I am super excited and I know they aren't weeds because they are popping up right where I planted seeds!
