Green Things

My house has been full of seed trays for the past several weeks. Mostly for Tucker House's CSA, but some pots for me, too.

So far we have aubergines, winter squash, tomatoes (lots!), broccoli, cabbage, and a few herbs. Some older seeds of mine didn't come up - asparagus and pepper.

Outside, the rhubarb looks wonderful, and a couple of asparagus plants I put in last year are poking up. I have planted peas, beans, spinach, radishes, lettuce, and broccoli. It might be a bit risky - last frost is on the 8th of May or so, traditionally, but it's quite warm now. Lows of 7 at night.

But the dandelions... ah the dandelions. They love it here, just as they do in England. Amazing amazing plants, really they are, but OOOH so annoying.
