Germination



We finally have germination in the garden! After being planted on March 28th, the two head lettuces have emerged.

Last weekend, on Easter, we planted our Blueberry bush that we purchased from Gurney's. It came a couple of days before in the mail, and I was worried about planting it because of our cold nights, but finally it got warm enough (I thought). We chopped out the bush that does nothing but attract flies and wasps and put the Ka-Bluey blueberry bush in on the south side of the garage. Upon reading about blueberries, we discovered that you need more than one in order for them to pollinate, so we picked up two from Lowes and planted those too. Those ones look like they will really do something this year. Yesterday, we received our raspberry and blackberry clippings in the mail, and so we planted those sad-sacks today. You can see how sad they are in the picture below.
