Planting Day and a Peek at the garden so far

It is planting day here in the garden!!! it is a big day for spring planting. I put in the tomatoes, eggplant, squash plants (some) along with more herbs. I also wanted to give you a glimpse of what has been going on in the garden so far this spring.

The forest of Asparagus is just beautiful. This is the second season for it so I did not take any of the spears this spring, but next spring I will be able to harvest for about a week...then progressively longer each spring! The beautiful Monet's garden lettuce mix I planted is just about to have its first harvest...yummy salads are in my near future!

You can also see the potato pot and the progress of the peas, herbs planted earlier this year and the beginning of the second full spring of the dwarf apple trees, they are really coming along nicely!

Today is a great day to get out and plant your garden!

Happy Gardening!
