Grow Food in February, March & April: Cold weather vegetables

        I have greatly neglected my blog. I've been getting an overwhelming distaste from commercialism on the Internet and TV; and I truly do not want to become one of those 'in-your-face-commercial-bloggers' that boast and post everything they read, hear, or the first thing that pops in their head...
      Other than that, I've been dedicating all of my time to planting vegetables, fruit trees, fruit bushes, and flowers. And, I have found a true passion in planting flowers and landscaping, around my mom's yard as well. So, I've been creating rock beds, rock walls, and rock patios, transplanting flowers from the woods, sewing seeds, expanding our vegetable garden, etc etc.

I began starting cold crop vegetables in doors during February, such as cabbage, brussels, broccoli, and lettuce, and tomatoes. Below I have shown you what I planted through March and April.
At the beginning of May, I will be transplanting and sewing tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, beans, corn, and celery. I'll post more pictures at the first of June to let you see my third garden and how my cold crop vegetables are progressing.

The early Spring and early Fall are the best times to transplant fruit tees and fruit bushes. Last year, I bought (2) pear trees, (1) plum, and (1) peach tree. This Spring, I purchased (2) cherry trees, (4) blueberry bushes, (3) strawberry starts, and (2) fig trees.
