A quick update while I'm still in the process of getting all of last week's progress down...
The Blanco and Tall Telephone peas are coming up gangbusters... the Paso peas... not so much. Not sure if they got planted too deeply (some are coming up, but sporadically) or there's a timing issue with planting or germination. They're looking better than they were a few days ago, so there's hope.
The lettuce is sprouting up nicely (albeit unevenly) in their beds out front, with the black mustard taking the strong lead in both germination and vigor. The onion sets and garlic cloves I planted also appear to be doing well.
The Calabrese Sprouting Broccoli seedlings April helped me transplant into the field from flats yesterday morning (about 65 plants worth) appears to have weathered their first night, frosty morning, and day without much incident. Gave them another good soaking today and hope they take off growing soon.
Heidi is loosing and losing teeth like nobody's business now. As of this weekend she's missing a lower canine and has the dog equivalent of a little kid's gap-toothed smile.
Most excitedly, many of the formerly bare-root trees/vines/shrubs/bushes I planted this past week are all starting to bud out. I'd be lying if I said all of them got watered exactly as much and as often as they should have, so It'll be a real boon if I don't lose any.
I don't think they'll quite catch up and join the amazing crowd of colorful flowering trees that are slowly dominating the Ohio landscape here, but they'll still be a sight whenever it happens.
