Spring Garden Update

Our spring veggie gardening has gone quite well... 

Our salad stuff turned out to be very tasty.  The tomato seedlings haven't died yet.  The parsley continued to grow like mad.

The lettuce mix, radishes and arugula were a bit slower than they should have been due to the cold temps and few days of sun. But they still made it.  I am not sure if we did enough to acclimate our tomato and pepper seedlings to the outdoors but we took them out as often as we could once they were in their own containers, where they grew likely crazy.

We decided to pick up some herbs at the farmers market instead of doing them from seed like we usually do.  Maybe next year we will start them early like we did for the tomatoes and peppers.

The spring flowers were bust. The pansies never grew quite right as they stayed flat instead of growing upwards... likely as there was no sunshine to reach towards.  The yellow blossoms were still cheerful, even if the plants did look a little sad.

We are moving to the next phase of the garden to get ready for the summer growing season.  Our fingers are crossed that the weather improves.
