Vegetable Garden

To make the food taste even better, I started a vegetable garden in my back yard. I plan on using this blog to keep track of the garden so I know what I planted and when/where. My friends and family helped me build 2 5 foot by 10 foot raised beds. Somehow I convinced my mother to fill the back of her new van with about 5 cubic yards (!) of soil which we then shovelled into the gardens-to-be.

Last weekend, I started planting. Some of the seedlings will have to wait until it's a bit warmer, but for now, I planted sugar snap peas, spinach, beets, lettuce, onions, leeks, purple and orange carrots, and rainbow chard. Massive thanks to Mr. Jon Pipitone for a bunch of the seeds (he'll have permanent stealing privileges).

The other bed still needs a bit more soil, but it'll hopefully grow fennel, peppers, garlic, and lots of herbs. I'm also going to use a couple of big containers for my delicious tomato plants. Pictures to come soon!
