Planting Season.

It seems every day the last couple weeks there is something on my list to plant in the garden. April is a strange purgatory month, especially this year. It's the time to start everything and plan for the growing season so you are busy, busy, busy - but you don't have anything to show for it yet. Lots of work with no reward, only the hope that everything sprouts and grows into something edible.

The garden as it stands today:



I don't have the flowering kale or the overwintering scallions on there because they aren't harvestable and I'm really just waiting for them to seed so I can get them out of there and put something else in their place. Out there now we've got onions, garlic, shallots, broccoli, spinach, radishes, spring kale, carrots, chard and cabbage. You wouldn't know it by looking out at the garden though, everything is super small or not sprouted yet and taking its sweet time getting there. We are supposed to hit 60 by the end of the week! For a couple days at least....
