Joy! Spring planting! The early crops go in today! yay!

We planted some lettuce and some broccoli and some spinach, and some cabbage that is supposed to grow to be huge.



This is really R's first garden. He was too young last year. He really took care and did a very fine job planting the Romain lettuce.. Now lets see if he eats it when it grows!! (He will, he likes his vegetables.. Its M that wont eat anything green..)



Pat it down now...



I left H to her own devices. She is old enough now to do it by herself. She planted all of the Bonnie butter crunch lettuce.



M wanted to plant flowers... She just wants nothing to do with vegetables! To be fair, she likes picking them.. And tries the ones she picks.



Here is the final product. Click on the picture for a short video, less than 1 meg)

Interestingly enough, I have skipped garden blogging on odd years of the calendar.. Strange.. ;)
We tilled a nice plot this year. H and R just helped me plant carrots and beets today! The first time I have tried either one! We will let you know how they turn out, and I will get going on some early pictures too. A toast to 2006! May this be a fine gardening year!
