Hard Shelled Gourds

Four leaf seedlings planted between 1st year Flame grapes. Should be
plenty of sun this summer.

Red Russet Potatoes

Planted today in a well drained bed just below the Rosemary. Thanks
D&D for the seed spuds!

Satsuma Aphids

Aphids heavily infested on new growth. Used water jet to reduce about
90 percent.

3/25 inspection showed return of many aphids. Wiped most with finger.

Grapes

Pruned to two growing shoots.

Seascape Strawberriew

Added 78 new plants bare root a week ago. Still waiting to see signs of growth.

3/25 called Grow Organic to report no growth on strawberries planted 2-1/2 weeks ago. Sales agent indicated there have been problems with Seascape strawberries. Left message and email. Expect response tomorrow.

Asparagus

Courtesy of my neighbor Maggie, planted 12 asparagus today. Four eac
of three varieties. From North to South: UC157; UC72; Sweet Purple 5;
all bare root in a trench 6" deep covered in 1-2" soil. Plan to
continue to cover as they grow to be a mound 1-2" high. Then will
mulch heavily to keep weeds down.
