March 17: potatoes in, new strawberry bed started

Potatoes Planted

Bill Hopkins and I planted potatoes today and spinach and lettuce.  The spinach and lettuce I planted 2 weeks ago is coming up!   But this new batch might be slower since we're having collier weather again. One pea poked through the soil.  Hopefully more will follow soon. 

strawberries transplanted

Tarragon and chives are six inches tall and tarragon and rhubarb are a couple of inches tall.  Exciting time of year!

asparagus bed

We also started a new strawberry patch in the old blueberry bed.  Bill dug and added manure earlier and also weeded and thinned the original strawberry patch.  Then I weeded the asparagus patch and put in stakes and strings to keep folks from walking on our baby strawberry and potatoes plants.
