Planting season has begun!
Today, March 17th, is what I like to call Pea Day (and yes I am Irish and I do celebrate that also). If our soil was no so damp we would be roto-tilling today. Last year we were able to till on this date but this year we have just had too much rain. When I was out yesterday I figured we would need three days of good wind and sun to make it possible.
Ohio has had 10+ inches of rain in the past 30 days. If you till your soil when it is too wet it will compact and destroy the biological and ecological integrity of the soil. This also is a result of too much tilling.
Plant your 'Cool-Season Crops' Today: Peas, lettuces, radishes, brassicas (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, collards), and spinach germinate and thrive in the lower tempera...tures of spring and will tolerate light frost. Cool-season crops can be direct-sown in your garden now!
Plans and pictures to come :o)
