It’s been a few days now since I started the kraut. I tasted it last night and it’s finally starting to get sour but is still really sweet IMO. I’m surprised it’s taking so long to get sour. I imagine at this rate it will be a few more days before we can move it to the basement where it is cooler. Our kitchen smells like Octoberfest :)
I managed to spend about an hour outside today working on the garden. I fixed 3 trellises. I planted 8 squares of Stuttgarter onion sets. I watered everything. And I installed some mini fencing to keep the bush beans contained.
Since our last frost date is in a few days I think I’ll go ahead and plant beans next time I can get outside. I’ll probably wait until towards the end of April to plant squash and cucumbers.
Almost everything that I sowed a few weeks ago has germinated. Still waiting on skirret, parsnips and carrots which can take a month to germinate. Also the leeks haven’t germinated yet but should soon.

Smells like Oktoberfest ehh? I don't think I would want my kitchen smelling like a fest hall :P I'm surprised you are starting to plant stuff out in your garden already. The last snow fall is just starting melting here. This weekend should finish it off.
I believe our last frost date is a month or more before yours. And everything we planted can be sown as soon as the ground can be worked or 2-4 weeks before last frost.
