Garden Update: Late April 2012
I’m slowly but surely figuring out where I want to put things. I’m also remembering the way that my dad used to plant the family garden when I was little.

Cooking and cooking-related posts took a backseat this long weekend as I had a brand new front yard garden installed. DH thinks I’m crazy, and I haven’t been this sore since I wed onions as a child, but I am loving the new conversations with neighbors.
You might be wondering what happened to my garden while I was away for 2 1/2 weeks in Uganda. Well, DH did manage to keep it alive--thanks honey! However, it was a bit overgrown.
Another $100 for lumber later, we now have 4 more beds. The photo above is of last year's, which I cleaned up on Saturday and planted with peas, carrots, lettuce, kale, and the Asian stir fry mix. Those little seeds are buggers! Hoping I can thin them out later.
I also planted some cilantro today in some leftover space. Hopefully I’ll have better luck now that I know it bolts quickly. This post linked to Things I Love Thursday
