Mid-March...

Well, it's the middle of March, and the garden is really coming along.  The seeds are really sprouting in the coldframes, and I can't wait for them to get big enough to plant.  Here's what we have thus far...

Bed #1:  (planted "seeds")
Potatos (found plants sprouting out of the compost bin, dug them out, and planted them)  (red potato)
Yukon Gold Potatos
Russet Potatos
Garlic
Shallots

Bed #2  (planted seeds)
Carrots
Beets
Corn

Bed #3
Cabbage
Red Cabbage
Broccoli

Bed #4
Collards
Red Onions
Georgia Sweet Onions
Spinach

Coldframes:
Bok Choi
Lettuce
Leeks
Sunflowers
Peppers
Tomatoes

Herb Pots:  (I planted herbs in pots this year to be able to move them out of the hot sun as summer approaches)
Basil (plant & seeds)
Tarragon (seeds)
Mint (plant x2)
Sage (plant)
Oregano (plant & seeds)
Thyme (plant & seeds)
Dill (plant & seeds)
Cilantro (plant & seeds)
Lavendar (plant)
Parsley (seeds)
Chives (plant & seeds)


Rain Barrel is almost complete!  Drip irrigation system is in the works.  I am so proud of both projects, mainly because I made it up as I went along.  Took multiple trips to Lowes, but it will be so worth it in the end.  Both will be useful year after year and will save a lot of water!  I will post pictures and materials when they are complete.
