Garden Update 6-April-15

Cleared away leaves from the area where asparagus was planted. One little spear about 2 inches out of the ground!

Peas are up in lots of places - should probably attempt to plant a few more.

Some things are growing in the greenhouse, but just a few radish and maybe some other things. I sprinkled beet and spinach seeds in there on Friday but didn't even cover them with soil. Today I watered and tried to push them in a little.

I torn down the compost pile and rebuilt it today. I love to see how much decomposes. I could identify mango seeds, avocado peels and seeds, peach pits, corn cobs and egg shells in the bottom food and a half or so...above that there was a lot more that was recognizable, but it's decomposing.

I rebuilt is hopefully with some better layers and I put four buckets of water on it. Mom was telling me how much water it needs, though the middle of my pile was pretty wet but the outside was very dry.

Daffodils and wood hyacinth look lovely next to the drive way.
