Planting Notes on Cole Week

Sunday (my once a week chores) morning tasks:
  1. Drink a cup of coffee and enjoy my garden. Inspect the weeks progress. Carrots, beets, and potatoes are up this week. The peas are coming along nicely, finally. I'm satisfied with the shape and curves of the lawn. Happy Mother's Day Kerri. Mom got her cole crop picked up. Happy Mothers Day Mom. I built a pepper bench to get the peppers up off the floor. They were not enjoying the cool daytime temps at floor level.
  2. Spray herbicides (can't miss a week this year)
  3. Spray pesticides (as little as possible)
  4. Fertilize-Miracle Grow all the seed flats and baskets. Check the rest of the garden for weak spots. I may have over fertilized the onions-Drats!
  5. Check for last-week-to-plant seeds. I think I'm up to date. Basil and lettuce are coming up strong in the greenhouse.
  6. Set goals what has to be planted this week. It is Cole Week. All the broccoli, cabbage...must get in the ground by Friday. I've got some work ahead of me this week. I've got to go to Wenatchee with Kerri tonight and to the coast with Dad tomorrow. Kat no doubt has games this week. Creston is done. So Cole week will probably get piled into a couple of evenings. I better get back 0utside.
