Building Day!

Amending the soil.

Building one of the raised beds.

Yep, the table and benches work just fine!

Go Green Club!

Recycled garden art

Better Homes and Gardens always has great ideas for the garden, but these recycled plastic flowers made from toys and other materials are very cool.

Microgreens!

Last Wednesday, February 2, I planted several varieties of seeds for microgreens, and they started sprouting this weekend. Arugula poked through the dirt first, followed by broccoli, peas, and finally spinach. In less than a week we should have some edible greens!

Yes, we had a blizzard!

Tomatoes!

So far not a bad selection of tomatoes have already ripened.

Today in the garden.

The Sungold tomatoes are just starting to ripen, and the eggplant is looking good. The dill has bloomed and is so beautiful!

Hopefully I will get some squash this year. The flying saucer has some nice blooms - we will see if they turn into fruit.
