The photo above was actually taken about two weeks ago, but I hadn't had time to post it yet. While I took the kids to a birthday party, he tilled in the compost and made the rows.
And then last weekend, we planted seeds. We checked on them Monday evening, and still no action. Then Tuesday, we forgot to check because we were busy with many hours of short-people-soccer. So this morning, I meandered out onto the front porch, where they were in bright light but not direct sun (!), and holy cow: we got sprouts!
In this tray are...
- sunflowers,
- carving pumkins,
- spaghetti squash,
- yellow squash,
- zucchini squash,
- purple hull peas,
- green beans,
- corn,
- canteloup,
- and something else that I can't remember.
We've got eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes already planted, and asparagus and artichokes on the way a little later. We are actually on time for a fall garden. Whew! Come on over, Aunt Choc, and brang yer Bean-o!
Yo Mama, by the time you come visit, we might have something to show off! Instead of Curves, we got Weeds.
