My bulbs are coming up and enjoying the sun they are getting even though it has been overcast off and on.
Have decided on planting potatoes in a topsoil bag with an old tire around it in a spot of the garden that I've not used yet and needs some work! The tire will allow me to mulch it and add to that mulch as it grows hopefully giving me more out of less!!! I'll keep you posted.
Have been reading an article the GRIT magazine on growing asparagus. This article in Sept/Oct of 2010 has inspired me to plant this only perennial vegetable. High in Vitamin C, B6, Iron, Potassium and Fiber. I've read that it is the earliest cultivated vegie and loved by the Greeks and Romans as a cure all. It does need potassium in the soil so begin giving it my banana peel treatment.
I used to feed my wild rose cut up pieces of banana peel to give it that shot it needed and it worked so will use this to add to where I'm going to grow asparagus. I'll start with one plant this year and see what happens!
