Not much gardening being done on the weekends – it’s cold and wet. Frantically trying to get cool weather crops in the ground in the evenings after work, my only window of dry, sunny weather so far this spring. Apparently peas were supposed to be planted in March. Really? March?? Everything is still frozen in March. Oh well.
We now have scallions, red onions, and lettuce. The peas are growing like champs, as well as the broccoli. Spinach and onion seedlings are poking hopefully out of the ground. I’ve had to look up pictures on the internet so I know what the plants are supposed to look like. Believe me, the seedlings look nothing like the grown-up plant. Hard to imagine these spindly little green shoots will be a head of spinach in a month or two. That is, if I don’t kill them before then.

Spinach sprouting
Potato?
I can’t quite tell if the stuff growing in the potato bed are weeds or potato plants. I do know that they are quite fuzzy. As much as I desperately want to pull out every little thing that dares to invade my garden space, I must resist until I can make sure I’m not single-handedly demolishing all my hard work. I was inspired to plant potatoes after watching the amazing movie faith like potatoes.
