Greetings, Spring Garden Enthusiast! First… Happy earth day! Gardening is one of the best ways to honor the Earth and help it flourish. Planting multiplies more than the food supply. Planting flowers nurtures the spirit, herbs, fruits and vegetables nurture our bodies and the other plants and trees nurture the earth and its critters… and create more beauty, oxygen and benefits to the soil, to mention just a few attributes.
But hey… we’re preaching to the choir! We know your love for nature because we share that.
Planting helps us grow too!
Spring In the Garden...
The planting has begun and, so far, the season-extending row covers are protecting our tender squash plants from frost. We planted parsley too. Like carrots, it can handle a bit of frost. Planting parsley is like growing vitamin C. We love to munch on some each morning in the garden. So much better than a pill!
The bales we set out a few weeks ago are ready to be planted with the first batches of spinach, bok choy, kale, and broccoli pictured below.
