Spring is finally here!!

Spring is here! Finally. I was getting stir crazy in the month of September as my seedlings destined for planting were pushed back for a good reason. We had 22 days of rain out of 23 days in that month. I looked at them and they were too small to plant out.

This caused some trouble for me recently as I got all the September seedlings delivered the first week of October. 13,000 seedlings to be more exact. This was just the first Springtime Delivery.

We will be getting seedlings all the way into January for a total of 62,000 seedlings this year.
We have decided not to plant any more winter crops as the amount of rain and cold did nothing for us but ruin the crops as the tractor could not travel over the ground than. The weeds took over as well as the wild ducks. They ate all of the Collards. So much for growing Collard Greens.

Anyhow this past week has been busy with getting the ground ready and planting out Chilli plants and Habaneros. We also will be planting 4500 tomato plants as well.

Sweet Corn will be transplanted for some early starts as well. While planting the colored capsicums ( for those of you in USA Bell Peppers) the planting assistants mixed up the seedlings and now will have them all mixed up Yellow, Orange, and Red.

We were able to throw out some Dolomite Lime as well onto the fallow ground that we are going to use this year. I know it is a bit late but oh well better late than never. We had a few spring showers so that helps.

So until next time. Take care.
