The First of May

Tomato and a few tomatillo plants just about ready to get in the ground.
Things have really picked up around here!  Between 1st Birthday parties, crazy weather, planting, visiting family, weekend weddings for dear friends, and everything else that comes along with springtime, we've found ourselves moving nonstop.  When I last posted, most of these guys were just tiny little sproutlings!  Soon they will be food.  Isn't that incredible?   





Nasturtium (edible flowers) on the right and zinnia on the left.

Young strawberry sprouts that will soon join their elders in the garden.

More tomatoes!  We're planting about 6 heirloom varieties this summer.

Clementine munching on some grass outside the Sprout House.

Hungry little hens.

Broccoli rapini looking good.

Added some row cover over the cabbages to keep the bugs out.  Seems to be doing the job.

Potatoes on top and bok choy below.

Perfect bok choy specimen.

Strings stretched for the peas to climb.

Some sugar snaps take hold.

Wild berries that border the woods.  They were pretty tasty last year, looking forward to enjoying them again.

Summer squash.

Almost ready to get in the ground.  Most likely this week. 

Maisy's anxious to get outside!



Success!  Happy first day of May, y'all.
