I sowed peas, carrots, kale, chard, lettuce, and beets. I also started some parsley in a six pack.
I did some weeding as well, although things don't look bad.
I decided to try a new way of growing the raspberries. I split each plant into two sets of canes and tied half on each side of the wire. My hope is that this will make them easier to pick.
I learned an expensive lesson about seed storage. When I dug the gloriosa and sweet potato tubers last fall, I thought they were dry after a short time and put them in paper bags in the bucket with all my seeds. Today I opened the bucket and found that not only had the tubers molded ( I think I can save the gloriosas) but all my new seeds, in just their paper packets instead of in ziploc bags, were also moldy. So I had to reorder nine or ten new seed packets. Fortunately, nothing needs to be planted right away, so I have time to wait for the replacements to come. Rats!!
