My garden plan for the day... weeding, weeding, weeding! The long sunny bed in the back will get pulled all up this weekend and next (with my little helpers - aka kiddos - helping me a bit, it should go pretty quickly!). And I'm going to pick out which transplant seeds to put in, which we'll probably do Tuesday afternoon. I am looking forward to seeing all those little beauties pop up! It's got to be my favorite part of gardening... except for eating the delicious, organic produce afterward, of course!

I'm ready to start the garden up for the year! I have my round bed in the front that I've decided to turn into a perennial bed -- this will be almost exclusively strawberries and asparagus, with a bit of rhubarb and borage mixed in with it. I managed to pick up an awesome used staircase plant stand at a yard sale a couple weeks back, and that is now gracing the middle of the bed with plant holders containing some deeeelish sugar snaps that the kiddos helped me plant. Bonus that they'll have the "banister railing" of the plant stand to climb and hang down on... and some are high enough the kids can't reach them, so we might get to cook with some of our peas this year (and save the peas for next season)! I am also going to try my hand at some potted lemons this year... I know, it doesn't quite get warm enough, but I plant to keep them trimmed small and in their pots, so I can bring them inside for the winter. So far I have about 7 meyer lemon trees growing... I won't get to keep them all though, so I may need to find a couple new homes eventually!

I did it.... I finally broke down and created a Twitter page. I have to say, though, I have really been enjoying using my Pinterest account, though! What an awesome and yet simple service! https://twitter.com/xBazorax/ on Twitter http://pinterest.com/adiebee/ on Pinterest

Just used raw fava bean leaves for first time in a salad. Very good and sweet, pea-like flavor. Need to plant more.

This last weekend I planted sugar snap peas, lettuce, spinach, mizuna and mache. I also have some Winter Density and Flashy Trout Back lettuces that wintered over. It's fun to already have a few leaves to throw into a salad.
