April's current Crop

As of today, there are 14 different vegetables, 7 herbs, and strawberries growing in the garden. I was surprised by the tally when I took a count the other day.

Vegetables: beans (pole and bush), potatoes (Yukon gold & red), parsnips, onions (Walla Walla, sweet & red), scallions, leeks, carrots, peas (snap & Alaska), chard, lettuce (red & green leaf), red mustard, tomatoes (3 heirloom varieties and 2 snacking/salad kinds), eggplant, and gold beets. 

Herbs: mint (2 kinds), basil, chamomile, oregano, thyme, sage, and chives. 

Why, hello there, Blogger

I decided to finally start a blog to track my garden progress; successes, failures, what I've learned, how it's going, what I make with the goodies. This way I won't have to bombard people on Facebook with more info than they want to know and those who are interested can come here. Not to say I won't keep posting pictures now and then there either, of course. I will probably go through and post pictures and thoughts from October through the present to keep an accurate timeline of everything.
