Strawberries

This morning I went to Terra Gardens Nursery, hoping to get my seed potatoes.  I had been told they should have them by March 1.  They didn't.  But they did have strawberry plants, so I bought a bundle of twenty Seascapes.  After unbundling them, I gave them a haircut, then planted them about a foot apart in a double row down one raised bed.  The bed was first amended with a can of all-purpose fertilizer.
























































I also bought a rhubarb start to add to the one I already have.  This one is called Crimson Cherry and is bright red, unlike the one I already have, which is kind of greenish pink.  Both are planted in the front yard.  I loaded them up with steer manure.




I also added two 2-cubic foot bags of steer manure to the new asparagus bed.
