Next year...

So I already have a long list of things I would do differently NEXT year :)

I wouldn't plant my squash, cantelope, watermelon or cucumbers inside until around April Fools Day. I am trying to resurrect the best looking plants in my water walls outside, but I don't have very high hopes. Looks like I'll have to buy a lot of my plants after all :(

The other problem is I planted too many things for the amount of growing light space I had. Once they outgrew their little one inch pony packs and I transplanted into 3" packs, space was sparce in my house , and as a result, they didn't get ideal light, and because they weren't all in one spot. And my watering suffered as well.

The broccoli, spinach, and peas are doing amazing! The peas I planted from seed have all poked through in the last week, so I'm excited to see the difference in the ones I planted from starts.

We also planted our gala apple, mormon apricot, and bartlett pear trees this weekend. I gave them some root starter, and I'll fertilize them later this week. I hope they do okay! I staked them up because they were starting to really lean. A neighbor of mine told me that was bad for them because the wind makes them stronger, but I think I'm going to take my chances for at least a year so they will straighten out. Hopefully that's not a mistake.

The secondary water came on this morning, so Bryan gets to work on getting the sprinklers up and going. Once they are done, we can get the yard leveled and compacted, and then hopefully, SOD!!!
