Spring has Sprung

There has been a lot going on in the garden plot lately.  Sorry I don't have any pics. My camera battery is dead and I haven't had time to go get another.  Here is a list of whats growing (or at least not dying):

• Corn: planted about a month ago; sprouted two weeks ago; about 5-6 inches high now


• Tomatoes: planted a couple weeks ago, growing pretty well; still waiting for them to get bigger before I 'string' them


• Basil: Growing well; still covered with plastic jug, just in case it gets cold


• Cilantro: One pathetic little plant


• Peppers: planted with the tomatoes; red, orange, purple and hot varieties; growing slow but not dead


• Sunflowers: planted with the corn; sprouted at different times so lots of different sizes


• Peas: not very many sprouted, but the ones that did are growing well- I can see the beginning of flowers


• Strawberries: got free from my neighbor; growing well- lots of green strawberries


• Rosemary: growing like CRAZY!


• Swiss Chard: just transplanted today


• Lettuce and Spinach: very happy in their baskets; I've eaten several yummy salads!


• Peppermint: happy in the basket; I had some peppermint tea last night!


• Oregano: happy in the basket


• Marigolds: blooming!


• Crimson clover: leftover cover crop is blooming; I should probably turn it in but the flowers are so pretty!


• I believe thats all!

This weekend is PICNIC DAY!!! so. excited.  I am most excited about free plants.  If the PES dept doesn't do that again this year I will be crushed.   I also will be at the BAE poster from 1-2 and Biotech exhibit from 2-4! Come say hi!
