Peach Orchard News
Hello everyone. We had a beautiful first day of Spring. I spent most of it piddling in the yard. I am loving the Spring forward time now. I’ve been able to get a lot of yard and garden work done. I finally got my garden tilled, and half planted. I have red, white, and red onions, three types of lettuce, mustard greens, collards, spinach, and turnip greens, sage, three different types of radishes, two types of carrots, two types of beets, sweet peas, early blue lake green beans, black eye and purple hull peas, speckled lima beans and red and white potatoes. I planted four cherry trees, azaleas, a lilac bush and some flowers. I’m also growing beef steak and Roma tomatoes, sweet banana and sweet bell and a sweet hybrid pepper. They are popping up in the green house and will be ready in a few weeks to plant in the garden. I’m waiting until April to plant my cabbage, eggplant, cucumbers, okra and corn. I was able to get my trees, bushes, berries and roses trimmed back and burning the brush pile and leaves too. I also planted some wildflowers too. I love to plant and watch things grow. I’m thinking of getting more rose bushes and flowering hedges. Be careful while cleaning the yard and gardens. This warm weather brings out the creepy crawlers. My hens are laying better now that the warmer weather has arrived.
