winter is transitory
yes there is a "snow event" going on outside my windows...and the community garden is prtetty much still in hibernation ( except the winter wheat )...but there's garlic out there and jerusalem artichokes...and rosin weed ( a sunflower relative and "plant ally" of the jerusalem artichokes...as if they needed help ) and doubtlessly some volunteers as well...this stuff cannot last for ever so as aharbinger of spring i made up a planting schedule for some of the beds:
Community Garden 2014:
Northern Tepehuan Teosinte- as soon as soil is workable before last frost,
Potatoes- Early Blue, German Butterball, Red Nordland second week of April. Yukon Gold in May,
Cucumbers- Mid-May,
Pole Beans- Mid-May,
Quinoa- Third week of May,
Hopi Blue Maize- Memorial Day,
Apache Red maize- Memorial day,
Dakota Black Popcorn- Memorial Day,
Sweet Corn- Memorial Day.
there may be more...i have a surfeit of seeds and any number of plants already started...space will be the determinant...i am ready...eighteen days to spring...how long until spring weather?
