March 23, 2010 Happiness is . . .
. . . getting all your seeds into the ground the day before a nice drenching rain.
Answers to Frequently Anticipated Questions:
1) Yes, I realize the rabbit was fake. It was a "gift" from some dear friends when they moved (well, not exactly a gift; through some sort of a prank it ended up in my garden.)
2) No, the sorrel is not fake. It's an "annual" that's survived for 4 years now and appears to have enjoyed the 6 1/2 feet of snow we got this winter! Delicious, lemony leaves, best lightly steamed with butter.
3) What did I plant, you ask? Well, the photo shows radishes, beets, carrots, peas and chard. Below the photo's scope are cress, lettuce, spinach, onions and fennel. Inside, still, are tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans and basil; the plan is to switch them out in May, once these crops have matured and the weather changes. Sharon, it's on.
