1st planting for 2007 Tuesday, April 17, 2007 |



Sunday was full of sun and sweat. I built a raised box that can move each year with the rotation. In it I planted carrots and leeks. The same bed is home to peas and spinach and soon to be onions.

I noticed that some of the farmers in Boulder County started to plant corn this weekend, so i took it upon myself to sew my first planting. Adjacent the corn is a few rows of lettuce.

Burpee said we're a Zone 5 and that is why my potatoes and onions (300 sets!!) will be here this week, rather than a month ago.

Order Experience With Burpee Saturday, January 20, 2007 |

After some trouble with my browser timing out, I decided rather than placing my order online, I wound up calling Burpee and placing it verbally.

I know this is the busy season for them, but customer service told me there was nothing they could do to see if my Internet order came through and that i should call back Monday to see if I've place 2 orders rather than 1.
