Weather permitting, I'll be at the garden Saturday morning to get some work done...come join me. I'll bring the minerals we need per the soil test and if I have 6 volunteers this task will go faster. I need folks that take pride in precision work to spread fertilizer and trace elements. Why precision you ask? Each 20' bed will get precisely 40 grams of sulfur, 15 oz of K2SO4, 33 grams of boron, 40 grams of Mn, 16 grams of copper and 2 lbs of Nitrogen. As an example the copper will be about a tablespoon and has to be evenly distributed over the entire 160 square feet of the bed. If you enjoy a challenge come join me!
Weather permitting I'll also bring my tillers. Come join me and I'll teach you to till your garden.
After checking the weather forecast and consulting the farmers almanac I got busy this afternoon, fertilized and tilled part of my garden and planted cabbage. The 10 day forecast is nonthreatening to the cabbage transplants so I finished that project. Cabbage can withstand a frost so no worries there. The next good days to plant according to the almanac are the 19th, 27th, 28th, and 29th. Still too early for tender crops that won't take a frost but certainly good for lettuce, spinach, arugula, broccoli, and cabbage. Onion sets too.
