It's June 6th. Temps have been a little cooler than normal. We've had a week of on and off again rain and it looks like we're in for some more.
Today, I did some more planting.

Tomatoes - see
How We Plant Tomatoes
Scarlet Runner Beans - placed seeds about 1/2 inch deep 2 inches apart around the teepee structure
Beets - placed seeds 1/2-1 inch deep in a row 3 inches apart covered with soil and watered
Compared to last year at about this time, things are just a little bit smaller - see
What's Up in the Garden. I haven't even planted the beans yet and they were at least 4 inches high last year at this time. That will be on my To Do List on the next sunny day.
Reading through last's year blog reminds me that I should put up the floating row cover over the cabbage patch and the tomato cages around my tomatoes.
Here's what things look like:
 |
peppers and tomatoes |
 |
strawberries! (new this year) |
 |
corn, staggered planting first batch 2 inches high next batch just seeded |
 |
Melanie's celery, radishes and flower patch - notice line of death between the kids' gardens |
 |
peas |
 |
little green carrot sprouts |

cabbage patch |

I planted my tomatoes June 6th too! I was tickled to read that. I've added a column to the planning spreadsheet you posted with my plantings and dates, I really appreciate you putting that up, as well as all your news and photos on the blog. I am always searching for more hints and tips for growing veggies in Manitoba.
Thank you,
Becky
