CC's 2019 Garden

[CrealCritter]

Looks like my garden survived 3 days and nights of rain and thunder storms. I'm happy about the spinach this year. Its the first year I've had full rows from direct sow. I think it needs to be cold (like snow on the ground) to germinate well. As soon as it dries out, I need to thin, pull weeds, fertilize and lay down straw. But its a mud hole right now.

It's looking really good. You're way ahead of me!

Had to put in a big drain off ditch, else it would have drown. Nice mud hole hu? Spring in southern IL are all crazy wet.

Rainy evening, I need to thin, weed, fertilize and mulch but its way to wet in there.

Left to right, kale, romaine, 2 rows each beets & spinach.

2 rows each Brussels, cauliflower, cabbages, broccoli.

2 rows onions & carrots. Last row of carrots drown, its the lowest part of the garden, so lots of skips. I might just till that row under.

Baby tomatoes & peppers indoors on the seedling shelf table thingy.

Sweet. Did you build that table? Looks nice.

Loving your garden. It gives me hope.

Cauliflower is a bust - button heads its been a decade or more since I had button heads, when I was learning how to grow cauliflower. There is no reason why these plants should have buttoned. i planted early enough and it hasn't turned hot yet. What a disappointment.

Will not be buying Baker Creek Amazing Cauliflower seeds again ---> https://www.rareseeds.com/amazing-caulifl/
