Romanesca Italia Brocolli and Parsley


Garden planning can be nerve-wracking - you spend a lot of money, and then you worry that you are starting too early, too late, in too large of a container, with the wrong soil....

But then you get to put seeds in dirt!

We planted Arugula, Broccoli, Chives, Celery, Endive, Parsley, Spinach, Cauliflower, and Matt accidentally planted some carrots.

Lindsey wrote in her garden journal, and made beautiful popsicle stick labels. We panicked when we noticed the color bleeding out of the popsicle sticks - can't let some crazy artificial dye invade are sterile seedling mix from Black Lake Organics.

Lindsey's journal:

... After weeks of stressful planning, using four different garden texts, Matt and I finally seem to be doing it the "right way." Funny that there is a "right way" after reading Nietzsche all week.

A day or two early or late is in essence a not missed date.

I still have to get the coop ready for the chicklings which will be hatched in 15 days!

I've learned 3 major lessons these past 3 weeks:

1. The plants that will come from the seeds are going to be just fine, in my and mother earth's care.
2. Dirt rocks!
3. Matthew's voice of reason is the option I always prefer.

(Note: Matt would forget to eat if it weren't for L. -Matt)

Planning planting

Today, Lindsey did all the work. She is starting a lot of seeds indoors. And she split all a lot of the seeds up so that we would each have our own!

Isn't she great!

We bought a great little book called The Maritime Northwest Garden Guide which is put out by an interesting organization called Seattle Tilth

This is the way Lindsey organizes her planting schedule!
