With the last threats of frost gone the last week in April, I planted the warm weather seedlings into the ground. For TN, the warm planting season includes:
green beans
squash
zucchini
corn
bell pepper
tomatoes
pumpkin
cantaloupe
cucumber
 |
| Green Beans Row |
 |
| Spring plantings: corn, breen beans, squash |
 |
Progress on the cold weather planting: mesclun, carrots, arugula
|
The cool weather plantings are making some progress, but to be honest, it kind-of looks like a mess. The carrots instructions were to plant just 2 inches apart, but the greens are getting tangled. The lettuce is muddy, which is to be expected, but it still makes me a little sick. Oh well, I think we may get enough for a couple of salads out of it at least. I think there are another 30 days or so until it's ready to go.
The
UT ag extension website has lots of information on what to plant and when specifically for our area, as well as how far apart the rows should be and anticipated yield. They were a good resource to get started. When looking this up, many colleges have an extension to their state's recommendations.
