Plantings of the week

Posted on Apr 14, 2010 by Lisa in Fruit, Tacoma, The Sprouting Off Garden, Vegetables | 1 Comment

The sun has come out around here and it is time to get planting.  I am in a unique situation because I built myself a cold frame outside so I don’t have to hassle with lights, heating and indoor space.  This week I started squashes and cucumbers in the cold frame and planted out a few things.

In the Cold Frame:

Pumpkins, Summer Squash, Winter Squash and Cucumbers

Planted out:

Broccoli, Cabbage & Cauliflower seedlings

Onion starts

Raspberry Canes

Strawberry starts

I was late in purchasing my raspberries and strawberries this season so I ended up ordering them from Raintree Nursery.  I drool over their catalog every season wishing I could order on of this and one of that.  It wasn’t until this season that I had a need to purchase.  I ended up with Cascade Delight Raspberries and Jewel Strawberries.  Both are summer bearing and sound wonderful.  The quality of the plants I received was outstanding.  The likelihood of me getting raspberries off of the canes this year is rather slim, but it was fun putting in a plant that will add a little winter interest in the garden.

What did you plant this week?

    I have summer and winter squash, cilantro, tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplant started in the greenhouse and brocolli, onions, kale, spinach, & chard in the raised beds. Need to get my carrots in the ground.

    Haven’t posted before, but have been following your blog for awhile. It is great inspiration!
