Repotting

Over Mother's Day weekend, Josh capitalized on the break in rainy weather. On Saturday, he planted our first round of Golden Beets and Red Chancery Carrots. We are planning on doing multiple plantings of both of these varieties. If all goes well, we will have enough carrots and beets to store for use throughout the winter months.

Mother's Day found us repotting our latest batch of seedlings in preparation for their move to our raised beds. This probably should have been completed a few days earlier but with the weather being so nice after quite a rainy spell, we spent most of our time off from work outside. After the dirt (and newspaper!) settled, we ended up with 12 Butternut Squash, 4 Boston Marrow Squash, 16 Straight Eight Cucumbers, 4 White Cucumbers, 12 Zucchini, 12 Summer Squash, and 12 Sunflowers. We had 10 Jiffy pots laying around the house so we used those up first but I handmade the 62 remaining pots using our PotMaker tool.  We are planning on storing and using more Zucchini than our other crops (I will perfect my zucchini bread this year!) so we will be doing another batch of 12 Zucchini in order to increase our output. Stay tuned!
