Friday, April 13, 2018 - Fertilizing and Snapshot
Yesterday, I dispersed Snapshot, the germination inhibitor I use on the mulched areas. Today I used all the Jobe's fertilizer spikes I have for the trees and shrubs. Tomorrow I have a class on bonsai trees at the Botanical Garden. Sunday, it is supposed to snow.

Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - Spring Plantings
It got up into the 70's today. A beautiful sunny Spring day.
I commissioned the irrigation system with the exception of zone 12, which has a break in a line. I also dosed the pond with the annual Spring commissioning stuff.
I transplanted the kale and the peppers out into the raised beds. I have three types of peppers this year: Jalapeño, Peppadew and Santaka. The Santaka Pepper originates from Japan. It is rather small in size, cone-shaped, measuring about two inches in length. SHU: 15,000 - 30,000 (2 to 12 times hotter than Jalapeño). I also seeded some Swiss Chard, carrots and beets in the west raised bed. The leeks are coming back for a third season in the west bed.
The rhubarb is looking very healthy this season. This is probably the fourth or fifth growing season for this specific plant.
