The Homestead

It seems like every year a project that wasn’t really planned jumps up on us.  This year it’s a fence around the vegetable beds.  After the addition of more raised beds and dirt was prepared a few weeks ago, we have noticed that the dogs have taken quite the interest as well.  This isn’t too surprising – we have had to beat them back from the veggies over the last several years.  Our Golden Retriever, Vegas has a thing for tomatoes and can’t seem to wait for them to appear.  In the past we have used make shift fencing to keep the dogs (and whatever other critters pay a visit) out.  When we checked into the cost of the smaller, decorative fencing, it ended up being about as much as what it would cost to erect a larger more sturdy solution.  I started stabbing poles in the ground a couple of days ago and now have been putting up the framework for a four foot fence that I hope will last for quite some time.

On the subject of tomatoes, our little ones are about ready to shed their baby leaves and the “true” leaves are starting to show up.  We will be thinning soon.

I now have the floor frame finished and waiting the delivery of a 10×8 metal building that will house garden equipment.  It should arrive sometime next week.  As I’ve mentioned before, shop space is at a premium, and it will be nice to have a place to house the garden gear.  Mowers have been spending time out in the elements over the last couple of years.  It’s time to get them some shelter.  Also in the image below is one of our peach trees that is really loving the weather:

And on the garden front, all of the tomato seeds sprouted and look great after just five days under the dirt!  Typically, they don’t rise above until 8-14 days.  The peppers and eggplant sprouts haven’t been seen yet, but should make an appearance in the next few days.  There is a long list of things that were to be planted outside around the middle of the month, but given that we don’t really seem to be having much of a late winter, I decided to get them in the ground today.  The soil was still soaked from the 1/2 inch rain we got earlier in the day.  I stand strongly by the saying, “watering keeps them alive, rain makes them grow”.  Planted today: kale, mustard, onion, carrot, spinach, radish, leek, chives, cumin, salsify, and some lettuce went in yesterday.  Celery, basil, tomatillo and cucumber seed will hit pots tomorrow and beets and peas will be planted in beds.  Here’s the tomato young ones:

 

We are starting to have grave concerns about our back garden pine tree.  I noticed a lot of dead needles recently, but it wasn’t until I compared it to an image taken one year ago that I realized how bad it is.  The above left image is from March 5, 2015 – the right image was from today.  It’s an older pine that has shown struggle in recent years, but I didn’t expect it to give up quite so soon.  It’s unfortunate because this tree sits in the middle of our perennial garden, providing a nice bed of mulch from falling needles.  We also have several perennials that require a bit of shade during hot afternoons.  We’ll have to approach this slowly – first, confirming how serious the problem is and if the tree can be saved.  If it needs to come out, we will need to find out how to do that with minimal damage to the surrounding bed.  Finally, we will need to determine what specimen to replace it with.  The long list of garden goals this year may have just got considerably longer.

The last piece of flooring went down last week and with the help of my Dad, the torn out carpet made the trip to the dump at Union City.  I was very glad to get the carpet out of here before it became a sponge in a heavy rain.  I should have known better, we don’t get heavy rain here.  This last round of storms produced a grand total of 0.01 of an inch.  Oh well, at least it’s gone.

The above average winter and very much above average February has the garden thinking spring is here.  Judging by some of the latest model data, it’s hard to argue against it.  Unfortunately, we are still more than a month away from the average date of last freeze, and two months away from the date of record last freeze.  Basically – there’s a lot of time for cold air intrusions and I expect that many of the early bloomers will be in for a frost bite at some point.

I did get some seeds started this week.  Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant all went into the potting soil.  This ended up being a few days later than I wanted, but the floor was taking priority in February.  The seed pots have been moved indoors for good temperatures for germination.  Once we get them rolling in here they will make the move out to the greenhouse.

The lumber has arrived for the base of the new 10×12 building we will be putting up to store garden equipment – time to start working on some post holes.
