Persephone Crowning

The myth of Persephone is the story of rebirth. Plants pushing up from the underworld were they spent the dark days of winter. I saw a bit of Persephone in my garden on Valentine's Day.

Ferns

Oregano

Daffodils

Tulips

Then there were signs of budding on trees and bushes.

As Persephone said in Latin,

Tempus Fugit!

It is time I get my new square foot garden ready for peas in Mid-March.

Square Foot Garden Yield 2012

In order to quantify the production of my square foot garden, I will be weighing all the produce that is harvested over this growing season.

Available at Harbor Freight

I will be using a digital kitchen scale to do the weighing.


I saw some snow peas forming on the vines at 20:00 on Thurs., 24May. I was unable to capture any good quality images at that time because of the low natural light level.

I grabbed the above images the next morning.

There are also cherry tomatoes and some bell peppers showing signs of fruit. My expectations are high, especially with the potato towers.


I will start to harvest the snow peas on Sun., 27May.


We shall see.
