The first phase of the kids' garden was planted last night, with little two-year-old fingers planting peas carefully in each spot. In addition to peas, the kids' garden (consisting of a couple pots on the back porch) now has radishes and lettuce planted.
As it continues to warm, the kids' garden will probably have carrots, more lettuce, and possibly potatoes (great to tip the pot over and let them paw through the dirt to find all the potatoes!)
Last weekend was the first planting weekend, with tomatoes and tomatillos being started in the garage under lights. Spring peas, parsley and onions have already been in for a couple weeks. Its a muddy mess still in the garden, but spring is coming!
Varieties planted include Oregon Spring, Stupice (becoming a favorite), Momotaro and of course Sun Gold cherry tomatoes.
Next on the list of garden tasks is to start lettuce and the spring flowers, and to plant another row of peas outside in the garden.
