Spring Cleaning

The sunshine is here! For our garden that means many weeds and an opportunity to plant warm weather yummies. All last week we spent time tidying up our garden. We pulled out last season's plants and fortified our soil to prepare for our spring planting!








Fava Beans Anyone?


YUM!

 Lots of excitement in the "Fava Forest." It's like digging for buried treasure!
 Who's hiding behind that favastache?

Greens, Greens, Greens,

The greens have been abounding! We have lettuce, red mustard, romaine, chard, kale, arugula, and more!

 In our Laurel Creek beds we had some pruning happening, so our chard plant can go to seed. Hopefully we can collect those seeds and use them for a new chard plant next year!


"I love the Giants and I love gardening!"

Aww Spring.

It looks like all the flowers that were hiding are now coming out to play.
