Planting in Earnest

Now that we are back from our two-week trip to Tucson, I can really start to plant things.  We had a blowout in the bed that I had planted some carrots in.  I'm giving up on the watering system in that bed, so I'll just plant a couple of squash that I can hand water.  I'll find another spot for the carrots.

My onion seeds did not do well, so I bought some starts, as well as leeks. 






















The lettuce that I started a couple of weeks ago is coming along nicely. 





















The strawberries are really starting to take off.






I bought four tomato plants and six pepper plants.  I've transferred them to gallon pots and will bring them in at night for now.

Spring, Really

There are lots of things blooming in the garden, mostly little woodland natives. 











Planting and Replanting

Yesterday I sowed kale, chard, and carrot seeds.  Last night something dug up a large section of the carrots.  It was large, with big feet, probably a raccoon. 





So today I planted them again.
