Gardening in 2023

I planted peas on March 18 and they finally came up in the last week. It has rained the last few days so my garden looks green in place.

I took a gardening class at Wasatch Community Gardens on April 15 that so enlightening. I learned a great deal about how to get my soil tested, what to compost with to improve my soil, cover crops and double digging as another way to improve soil.

I have started some seeds in my shed but the only ones really growing are 4 Hubbard squash seeds. I need to spend a couple hours out in the garden working on my compost pile, getting soil samples, planting more seeds as it is finally warming up.

I have taken chives, garlic chives, Egyptian walking onions tops and rhubarb to work for others to have. It is wonderful to have produce already from the garden. My strawberries are loaded with blossoms. I just need to keep enough water on them so they don’t get stressed and produce lots of berries.
