Lindsey gets tour of Matt's Garden

The Ladies go outside; their new home; garlic and daffodils

Chicken coop central!

Watch out! I've got a jigsaw, and I'm not afraid to use it!

Gnome swimmin' in a sea of garlic.

Put Your Root Down.

A Romanesca italia broccoli sprout at a little less than 2 weeks (planted the 28th of Feb.)





Broccotastic! (plus some Forsythia, Endive, Rhubarb,...)



Speaking of 'italia' ....

Lemon Gelato and Raspberry Sorbet from i.talia

Chickens Arrive, Forsythia Mission Yields Extras, Start Science

This is just the bud of the beautiful forsythia flower. It still is pretty pretty, isn't it?!

From top to bottom; Emmylu, Prudence, Celine, and Patricia. Would you believe they are twice that big- just ten days old!

Laurie is the mother of one of my best friends, Katrina. I got to go to her house last Saturday to get supplies for my chicken coop and check out her plants. She is simply inspiring. Laurie has a greenhouse with many seedlings already started and thousands of plants ready to be planted and sold at many lucky persons houses very soon. Her buisness, Laurie's Native Plants, is truly her blood and bones. Plants are just one of her many roots (she is also going part time to college learning all about soil! I got to see some of her notes, and between you and me, Laurie is a much better student than I!) Her plants and flowers will be at the Olympia Farmers' Market this year. Wahoooo...!
Can't wait to get the tomatoes, peppers, and flowers started this weekend!

Even more starts!

"Start" can be a noun.

Today, Matt started more veggies and a some flowers.

• Onion - Bianca di Massion
  
• Onion (bunching) - He Shi Ko
• Asparagus - Mary Washington (we have to wait four years before we get to eat them!)
• Lettuce - Tom Thumb
• Ground Cherry - Strawberry Husk (this is a plant like a tomatillo)
• Columbine - Tequila Sunrise (flower)
• Arugula
• Kale
• Assorted wild flowers

A little puttering got done outside as well. Cleaned out the old tomato bed. It needs more soil. Matt wonders what should go in these beds. They have weird grubs.
