Every year Jared and I say that THIS year we are going to get our garden in early, especially the peas and lettuce and other cool weather vegetables. Then every year we are waiting for this or that or just plain don't have the time and it is around end of May, beginning of June before we get anything in. This year our wonderful, fabulous, amazing home teacher brought us a load of mink manure at the beginning of April and we spent an entire Saturday shoveling . . ., well, you know. We had the entire garden covered and tilled in by evening and ready to be laid out. All the kids even helped, which made it so we could get it done in one day. Then the weather went back to winter.
But this week spring/summer came back and we were able to get back out to the garden. We had started cabbage and broccoli inside and then we planted all the cool weather seeds too. And so it begins - peas, lettuce (2 types), spinach, cabbage and broccoli and 2 kinds of potatoes planted. Jared, Marin and I spent all afternoon just getting these two rows done. We are ready to go!
