Started my annual experimental mini rice paddy with Hmong Sticky rice seeds direct sown and backup seeds sown in a container (already starting to grow).
Planted 5 kinds of potatoes (2 more varieties plus some extras out of the pantry/last yrs varieties still waiting to go in the ground), almost ready to plant out the tomato plants. A few more weeks and the overwintered hot and sweet pepper plants can go outside as well as various seed-grown citrus trees, avocado trees, pomegranate trees, chestnut trees, and mango tree, as well as pineapple plants grown from pineapple tops, etc., etc....
Was out sowing two kinds of corn -- Double Red Sweet and Stowell's Evergreen -- and two kinds of onion seedlings from early Feb sowing -- Red Wethersfield and Sweet Yellow Spanish. one more corn variety -- Buhl -- needs to go in a bed that is still squishy and waiting to dry out on the other side of the house. One more mid Feb?/last sowing of onion seedlings as well as last of the 2 varieties of leek seedlings -- American Flag and French Carantain -- waiting to be planted. Sowed last row of snap peas.
Started two varieties of melons -- Jenny Linde and Rocky Ford -- as well as
Dills Atlantic Giant pumpkin as backup/early starter. All growing unexpectedly well. Planning to start peanuts next.
My earliest strawberries are all flowering so I fed them and cleaned up the bed (some have tiny green berries already) and harvested first handful of Purple Passion Asparagus. My apple trees are in full bloom.... I left some things out, but I think I'll stop now...
