I'm kind of at a stopping point with the vegetables. The raised bed is pretty much full. I do have a 6-pack of Bok Choy, but they're still pretty tiny, I'm not sure if they will be viable before it's time for more summery stuff. There is a 6 pack of Swiss Chard, 2 packs of Lettuces and one of Arugula. I'm hoping the Lettuce and Arugula get going quickly, and then I can put them in the Gutter Garden.
Out of the Raised Bed, I'm expecting the Bok Choy to be harvested first. They're supposedly really fast to mature, and it's something I want to pick when they're little. I mean, 4 weeks, tops, right? They're supposed to be like, 35 days to maturity, and they grew out for at least 3 weeks inside. Depends what they mean by "mature," I guess.
Anyway. Everything else seems to be doing well enough. The Daffodils and Tulips are all showing, although they are a long way from flowering. Other Daffodils, including right across the street, are fully flowering. I do not know what is wrong with mine, or what is wrong with me in general. I deliberately bought an early variety, Ice Follies. They are coming up in the same time frame as the Tulips. Everywhere else, the Daffodils are up and flowering and the Tulips are just starting to show. (Actually, looking at Longwood's pictures from last year, their Daffodils and Tulips seem to be up at the same time, but I guess they would do that deliberately.)
The Hyacinths are of course up, and they're showing buds. The Tulips in the window box are up, and have been for a while. I had a bunch of crocuses around them, I don't know if they're all eaten by squirrels? I planted about 100 Crocuses under the little trees above the retaining wall, and all winter it was just a standing pool of water (when it wasn't covered with snow and frozen solid.) I've seen two come up, and they're nice, I guess. I guess I should be happy to even get those. I'm sure they're all rotted. if they weren't eaten by squirrels.
