Spring Garden Plan

Here’s my spring garden plan.

Last weekend I planted half of the peas and fennel.

This weekend I should be starting tomatoes, peppers and kale. Maybe zucchini and cucumbers.

So far I planted parsnips, carrots, arugula, radishes, beets, and nasturtiums.

I also moved some lacinato kale out of the old kale spot and into a new one. I put one kale in the backyard and moved a plant in the backyard closer to the wall, because I know it is going to get tall in the summer. I don’t know the name of that plant. I looked it up and it is Linaria purpurea.

I planted some clover grown from seed I got in northern Minnesota. One is next to the thimbleberry and one is by the path to the compost pile.
