Gardening Diary – March 16, 2019

 Sharon fertilized straw bale beds #7-8 with Alaska Fish Fertilizer and Miracle-Gro Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food. She needs to have 2 more treatments of these beds to complete the preparation for planting.

Replaced the bolt that had fallen out of the bottom of the new wagon. Without this bolt, was unable to steer the wagon.

Purchased 10 bags of Miracle-Gro 2-cu ft All Purpose Soil from Lowe’s. In addition to being on sale, there was a 10% discount on the purchase instead of 5%. Used 2 of these bags to cover the bales in straw bale bed #5.

Sharon completed the planting of Oregon Sugar Pod II Peas in straw bale bed #6. The 2nd packet of these seeds was also purchased from Lowe’s today.

She also planted Icicle Radishes, Short top, (from Ferry-Morse) and Short ‘n Sweet Carrots (from Burpee) in straw bale bed #5. Seeds also obtained from Lowe’s.

She watered both straw bale beds.
