Garden Geekery

The garden is beginning to yield great organic home-grown goodies!

Last night we had our first zucchini squash of the season tossed with some freshly picked greens in a light vinaigrette. Every time I pick something I've grown from seed (or seedling) and bring it into my kitchen I feel all giddy and proud inside.

I do realize that this makes me a big geek.

Fashionably Late

Just when I was about to give up on this tray...Hello!



Still waiting on the peppers to make an appearance.

News From The Garden

It's been 16 days since I planted these seeds and just as I was about to give up on the whole tray a cucumber sprout decided to make its grand entrance! I've only gotten a few (2, literally) lettuce sprouts from this tray so far. I guess I'll give it another week before trying new seeds in it.


Lots of herbs are sprouting as well!




Outside, in one of the raised beds sprouts are beginning to also appear.


In other garden news, I made a bed using some found bricks by our side entrance and planted a hydrangea bush along with some salvia pants and a columbine.
