dreamflowerActually, bed by bed-- my garden is growing. And tonight we had the first bit of its bounty this year.
I made mashed potatoes with fresh chives and parsley from my herbs, and chicken parmesan with fresh basil and oregano.
Our salads consisted of red oak leaf lettuce, mesclun, and green onion from the garden.
My radishes and potatoes are coming up, my carrots have begun to sprout, and the cauliflower, cabbage, and Swiss chard I bought as nursery plants have not died. The green lettuce is iffy-- it doesn't look too good, but I'm hoping it will come back after a few days of regular watering.
I have some tomato plants in my little front porch greenhouse: Early Girl and Brandywine. I just repotted them in slightly larger peat pots-- it's still too soon for them to go outside.
