1st trip a nursery

We bought more strawberries, plus all of our packaged seeds. Lots of people at the nursery, over half wearing masks. The place seemed a little empty this year, stuff was a lot more spread out.

I had miss guessed on how the spacing for the strawberries so I only got enough for the 'new' area of my garden, not enough to finish off the rows I had started last year. But after I was done planing the berries I weeded the old crop and saw there are lots of shoots that could be moved.

Earlier I had picked up most of the rock piles that I had created last summer. As I am weeding I throw the rocks in a pile and move them before I rototill the next year.

FINALLY, after 10 years of having blueberries I made a map of where they are based on an aerial shot. Before that I was using a spreadsheet and the spreadsheet was never to scale, less accurate than if I had done it on paper.

I currently have 14 blueberry plants, the 1st two were planted in 2010. By the looks of the list I have had at least a half dozen of them die and then I replant. I currently have 6 known Polaris variety and no more than two of any other variety. So far, it doesn't look like I lost any last winter. I usually wait until later in the spring to buy more when they are on sale.

Looking at my black berries, they should be trimmed back every year ... and should produce every other year. I have been growing black berries for 10 years and haven't gotten more than one hand full total. It looks like the ones I have now were planted in 2012. The prior variety were all thorns but also never produced berries.

Looking at the forecast we should have one day this weekend an another day next week where the temps get down to 39 degrees. No more frosts predicted. Early year, I may try watermelon again.

Didn't get any of the seeds planted today, maybe tomorrow. This year we bought Lake Valley Seeds, because that is what the store had the largest selection of. (Busy isles at the store are now all 'one way.')

For seeds we bought

Peas - Sugar Snap

Carrots - Scarlet Nantes

Beans - Landreth Stringless

Beets - Rainbow Blend

Sunflowers - (organic?)

... and five kinds of flowers. Hoping to attract some bees.
