Garden Update

I cleared out the square foot garden in preparation for planting. The soil is about soft enough to work. Once we add a few bags of composted manure to the top, I will plant lettuce and spinach seeds.

Also, we started seeds indoors yesterday. We have two varieties of tomatoes, eggplant, sevreal different herbs, and wild strawberries. I am most excited for the wild strawberries. They will go out front and fill the place that currently houses weeds near the curb. That probably means they will be eaten by the neighborhood riff raff, but as long as they think they aren't strawberries I am home free. As you can see in the photo, they aren't like typical strawberries you buy in the store.
