This is super helpful.

I found a planning calendar to tell me when to plant which veggies. I will use this from now on.

And today...

So my 50 strawberry plants I ordered from Gurney's came in yesterday. I was super excited, until I opened the box and realized that I had apparently ordered bare root plants. I wasn't quite sure what to do with them, but luckily Gurney's sent some very good instructions with the plants. I soaked the roots for about 1 hr in warm water, then planted them in trenches with the crowns level to the ground. I'm hoping it does not take long for the leaves to sprout, because I am wanting to put mulch around the plants. I'm trying to use mulch instead of weed fabric around the strawberry plants this year.

I also planted 9 different herbs in my raised bed garden. I planted some pok choy as well, which I know nothing about, but it was beautiful. I couldn't resist, and I thought there'd be no harm in trying it. I also bought a couple of flowering plants to add some color and attract polinators.

I'm planning on planting my asparagus today, and this weekend I will be planting potatoes. I also started some corn indoors to get a jump start on my first round of corn, as I plan on planting 16 plants every 2 weeks in order to have a steady supply of corn through the summer.

Here are the latest pictures. :)

 Sugar snap peas on the right, then onions, then carrots (Danvers and Tendersweet), then assorted lettuce and spinach.

 celery (top right corner), sweet basil, cilantro, italian oregano, greek oregano, red basil, grey sage, thyme, garlic chives, dill, pok choy, and flowers.

my outdoor greenhouse... careful with these in warm weather... plants bake easily... I figured out that it needs to be zipped up at night and unzipped during the day if it is over 60 degrees.
