The spring planting season has only recently begun and I'm already behind on recording the details. Here's a recap so far.
March 21: Planted peas, spinach, turnips (experimenting with earlier than recommended), and beets (earlier than recommended) in a single 2' x 12' bed. Started first batch of Romaine and Buttercrunch head lettuce indoors.
April 9: Peas were sprouting. Filled in gaps in peas, beets, and turnips. Transplanted first batch of head lettuce.
April 21: Spinach and peas were ravaged by rabbits. Replanted both. Sowed leaf lettuce, swiss chard, corn, and zucchini. Still early for corn and zucchini but extended forecast calls for no frost between now and May 1.
April 23: The rabbits moved on to devour most of the head lettuce. Perhaps I need to reconsider my decision to skip the fence this year.
Apparently I forgot to note down exactly when I started the second batch of head lettuce (sometime after March 21 and before April 9), or when I transplanted them (sometime between April 9 and April 21). Oh well. Things are going well so far, aside from the rabbit damage.
