Spring!!! It's finally Spring!!!
I realize that this doesn't necessarily guarantee warmth and happiness from now on, but at least I can say it's Spring.
As you've probably seen on Instagram, we've been busy building our vegetable garden.
We finally got the raised bed filled with dirt-- 50% compost, 50% garden soil, 25% top soil. No, that doesn't add up but that's basically the gist of it.
I started some seeds in our Aerogarden, and they sprouted like champs. The other seedlings that I attempted in some egg cartons did nothing but kill my confidence in my never.buying.produce.again. future.
Therefore, I was more than a little skeptical about all the seeds I planted in the raised bed--spinach, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, and squash.
But look!
My little babies are growing!!
I decided to do my "herb garden" in pots on our steps for easier access and because I ran out of room in my tiny raised bed farm.
The basil is clearly taking the lead here, but oregano is also sprouting, you just can't see it. Italian dinners for all!!
Like I said, I ran out of room, so I decided to try my hand at a non-raised bed veggie garden for all those little seedlings that did grow-- tomatoes and peppers (or toms and peps as I keep calling them to Nate who keeps ignoring my pet names for them. It will catch on. It will.)
The sense of pride I feel for having dug and tilled that all by hand is almost obnoxious. But then I realize I still need to move all this sod and dirt and roots and... I'm tired.
Well there you have it. We'll see how these babies do and if I actually get some veggies from it all.
Happy Spring!!!!!
