For those of you who saw me surfing websites all winter trying to decide which seeds to buy and who then heard about me starting the garden before Easter to get the seeds going, I’m happy to report my little garden is flourishing!

Behind the fence we built two small boxes for my gardens.  Starting from the left I’ve got Painted Lady Runner Beans, mesculin and lettuce mix, carrots, lemon cucumbers growing up the wall, three types of peppers (the seedlings got all mixed up), yellow wax bush beans, black pear tomatoes, beets, and gai lan.  I pulled up some of the beets last weekend and had a taste – it was a mixed bag of beet seeds – and the two I tried were delicious.  Some of my yellow beans are about ready and we’ve been eating lettuce non-stop for months.  It got a bit overgrown so I reseeded this weekend but grew half as much as we don’t eat that much lettuce.

The purple flowers are borage I palanted around the trees out front.  They look really pretty in the sun!
