Gardening Update

 The Gardener and Assistant to the Gardener upon ground-breaking

I've been having lots of fun in the garden recently and I'm so excited to actually to think that I might actually have some produce to eat in a little bit.  A couple weeks ago I bought some seedlings and planted several things.  While a couple died almost immediately and bunnies found some others, my cauliflower, parsley, beets, kale, and chard are doing fabulously.  Yesterday I just planted the basil plant and two tomato plants I bought at the farmers' market the other week.  All three of them had been inside on my window sill and had grown amazing amounts in just a week and half; I can't wait to see how they do outside.  I also ordered a bunch of seeds from Seeds of Change that arrived last week (Thanks, Audrey!).  This morning I started some seeds on my window sill, and will plant more in the garden later this week.  In addition, I have about a million red and green leaf lettuces that have shot up in random parts of the garden.  I transplanted some of them into a row, and I'm trying to figure out what I'll do with the rest... I'd kind of like to have the garden be more orderly, but I don't want to disturb them too much, either.

He is lucky your little assistant who has the opportunity to experience how the vegetables grow and to know that he later could eat them. It tastes always better when you've grown them yourself :)
