Spring Garden Update

This morning I planted out my Korean peppers and Riesentraube tomatoes.  Besides slugs eating everything in sight, the expanded garden is doing o.k.

Early Spring Harvest + Bunny Sighting

This is the first and last spinach harvest for early spring.  I overwintered spinach this year and they did SOOOO much better than when I tried planting in early spring. Besides some minor damage from slugs, the spinach grew bigger and healthier than my spring spinach and avoided these guys....

Confessions of a Seed Hoarder: Sharing and Collecting

This Easter weekend (Happy Easter BTW) started with a frenzy of planting and dirt slinging!

My dirty fingernails are proof that growing season has begun!!!  This time of the year is definitely my happiest.  I always look forward to warmer weather and starting seeds and planting out seedlings. I naturally get up much earlier (farmer's hours, I call it) and itch to get outside.
