Eldersburg Garden Update

Following an Eldersburg gardener.

Good news: everything that I planted is breaking through the ground. It felt good seeing the plants reaching toward the sun. I usually plant potatoes on March 17, but the weatherman said there was a chance of rain today and again on Saturday.

So, I planted the potatoes today along with broccoli, Brussels sprouts and Romaine lettuce. Now I hope it does rain. We like red poatoes and I brought them again at Tractor Supply. This year they are red norland. I plant at least one thing that I haven't planted before every year. Last year it was Swiss chard and this year it's Romaine lettuce.

It is used in Caesar salad, which Shirley and Becca like a lot. Now if we can eat the veggies before the deer do. It's a race every year.

is it kind of early to plant?

I usually plant around March 17. I wouldn't plant anything like tomatoes or peppers, but cold weather crops like peas, broccoli, lettuce and onions are okay to put in the ground. Thank you for viewing Eldersburg.Patch.

Eludius, she does not read online newspapers. I don't think she even knows the Patch exists, so sheRead More will not see it :)
