It's That Time...

Preparing for the planting of the Spring crop, we mapped out the rotation of our plants from the previous Spring.  Tony got out and tilled the garden one more time and then set up all of our rows for the Spring crop.

We took a trip to Plant and See and bought the seeds and seedlings for our Spring crop.  We purchased a good portion of this year's crop for $35.61.  Here's the breakdown of what we got today:

                Early Jersey Cabbage - 48 seedlings - $9.90
                Packman Broccoli - 40 seedlings - $11.88
                Yukon Gold Potatoes - 5 lbs. - $2.50
                Pontiac Red Potatoes - 9 lbs. - $4.50
                Yellow Onions -  - $1.50
                Imperator Carrots - 1/2 oz. - $1.25
                Dark Green Bloomsdale Spinach - 1 oz. - $1.75
             
We did not have very many freezes this winter, but we did get a light snow Feb. 16th, 2013.  We had, what will more than likely be, one of our last freezes of the winter last week.  We are determined to have a very successful crop this year and keep the bugs from destroying our produce.  We will also be investing in floating row covers and netting for some of our fruits and vegetables within the next few weeks to see if it will maximize our return this year.  Overall, we should definitely be able to get our money's worth!
