Potatoes, potatoes, and more potatoes. We are going to be some happy folk when it comes time to harvest these taters. Take a look at the variety that we're planting out today. This years potatoes were planted today, Sunday, March 20, 2011.
We're getting the garden ready for our Spring/Summer 2011 Garden. In the meantime, I went ahead and moved all of the bricks and plastic. And this is what it looks like today (Sunday, March 20, 2011).
Papa's getting ready to plant our potatoes today but before he did I wanted
to grab a picture of all the amazing varieties we've got going in. As you can see (above) we've got some blue (or purple) and russet potatoes. These that you see down below are actual "seed" potatoes.
Then we also have the (yummy, buttery, great-for-roasting) fingerling potatoes
(Can you tell that I like fingerling potatoes :-)
And those to come in a few different types.
In this large bag there's a mix, some yukon gold, some fingerling, some blue & russet.
I think that it's obvious to say that these are going to make one "delicious" crop!

Today's Date: March 15, 2011. As you can see Papa is in the process of transplanting the seedlings for all of the peppers and tomatoes to their own individual pots. He's got one down and about seven more to go. This is good because I don't remember this stage in the process this time last year for Garden 2010, so this is really cool

It's that time again...and Spring is Here! How exciting :-) I love the blooms. I love the spring (and fall) colors...everything is in it's season. The flowers are blooming....
The trees are budding....
Even our pear and apple trees are starting to bloom...
Here are some pictures of our pear trees planted towards the end of last fall (Nov 2010) and now that it's spring, I wanted to take a look and see how the springs treating them?
Most of them already have beautiful spring buds on them although it will be a while until they're actually full grown.
