In between the morning snow and the afternoon hail today, we had a few hours of lovely sunny and warm weather so the kids, and dog and I went out in the yard. While the kids busied themselves I did this:

Remember what it looked liked yesterday?

Not bad for a few hours backbreaking work eh? I dug in some manure where the poles are (as my compost is not ready yet) and prepped more poles. Going by my Great Uncle Harold’s rule, late of Sault-Ste-Marie, I need to get the beans in no later than May 8th (his birthday).

In the little bed up front, I planted Warba potatoes, apparently a high yielding early crop. I know nothing about growing potatoes so here is some info. Apparently, since these are an early variety, they may be harvested when the tops being to flower. As opposed to main crop varieties which are harvested just after the tops dies down.

I had some onion sets but I didn’t have the time or space to plant them today. I’ll pop them in the other bed next week. Speaking of the other bed, asparagus is popping up all over the place. I’m amazed how quickly it grows. Now if only the damn dog would stay OFF that garden!
