My Garden Journal: week of February 19, 2024

Things have started getting busier but still very manageable. Here’s the recap of the week

Seedling update

Everything is going well, I have started thinking that the tomatoes may be ready to be up-potted, they are 4 inches right now.

New seeds were started

Lettuce

I tries a couple varieties in my first year at this house and I wasn’t very excited about them and, to be honest, I am not a lettuce person but I am trying again this year for early sprint while I wait for other crops to be ready to go into the garden.

NameProviderNotes
Les Orielles du DiableUprising SeedsChose this mostly for the name, they have an interesting shape and burgundy hue.
MerlotUprising SeedsI like red wine, so this one was an easy decision.
Tom ThumbTomorrow Seeds I bought these seeds last year but I didn’t have a chance to plant them so I am looking forward to this one.

Tomatillo

Tomatillo is one of the easiest vegetables that I have planted, they are very resilient and prolific. In prior years the star of my garden was a purple Tomatillo that I used to make purple salsa. This year I will stick to the known green Tomatillo.

MiltomateTerritorial SeedsI am expecting that just 4 plants would be enough for a few rounds of Salsa Verde.

Blue Fescue Ornamental Grass

This is a different take to what I usually do, but there are a few patches in the front yard that I think would look good with an ornamental grass
