The New Bed has been mapped out, filled with composted manure and a few plants put in. Not the best timing for planting. Lured to it by the warm weather we have re-covered established beds and will cover the new planting. Maybe double cover and put some of those candle heaters under tonight. And tomorrow night. A long overdue reminder: Small towns list toward boring, therefore I garden.
Recent reading and videos are leading me down the path of No Dig (Charles Dowding, UK) and Craig LeHoullier (Cary, NC). The New Bed is no dig. Tomatoes many types and varieties are up and growing under lights upstairs. Elliot Coleman's, Winter Harvest started year round growing. Future posts will refer back to these methods.
A long overdue reminder: Small towns list toward boring, therefore I garden. Apparently those whose winters are longer learn crafts, quilt and build stuff. I would lose me mind and be perpetually medicated or learn to build stuff because sitting is not for me.

Gayle, I am tempted to try the carrots on my own!! I think I shall sow them around the lettuce bed. Then I will be able to plant zinnias where the lettuce is and leave the carrots till mature.
Now to plant a few beets tomorrow, around the cabbage patch...never have tried beets before Know they are tricky to mature..
