We are loving Spring! Here are some pictures of the spring gardens. Weeding is on the list for tomorrow! We are currently harvesting radishes, lettuce, parsley, cilantro, chives, and a few other herbs. We have garlic, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, lettuce, spinach, carrots, beets, potatoes, cilantro, parsley, sage, thyme, catnip, lemon balm, chives, and radishes growing in the gardens now. And probably a few things I can't remember right off the top of my head. The fruit trees and the berries are looking pretty good. Robyn told me yesterday that she found blossoms on the strawberries. I can't wait for fresh berries!! It is very nice to be harvesting food again. I love that, even if it is pretty limited right now. This is part of the veggie garden. The white stuff is frost cloth - it is awesome!! I only have two pieces so only the peas garden and the center garden have been covered - there is a big difference in the plants in those two over the plants that haven't been covered.
A lot of the "weeds" in the path are lettuce and cilantro - Grace helped a lot with the planting. We will have a yummy salad for lunch tomorrow after we get the weeding done.This is the herb garden. We tried to make it look like a wagon wheel because the pioneer women used to put an old wagon wheel down to plant their herbs in so the men folk would know that those plants were the herbs and wouldn't walk in them or let the horses eat them. Not that any of that is relevant to our back yard, but it was fun anyway.
