Well, now that I will be confined around the house more with two kids and their nap schedules, I think I should have more time to concentrate on my home garden (we will see!)
- Today was a beautiful March day, Matthew and I got a good start on the garden while Brooklyn slept. I am really hoping to get Matthew excited about gardening and watching the veggies grow from seeds to food we can eat.
The first sign of spring for me is bringing out the trellis for the peas!
Next is to get the beds turned over and check out the compost underneath after a winter of decomposing cardboard and hay.
- Matthew and I decided to do Garden Beans-Kentucky Blue Pole and Alaska (Wilt Resistant ) Peas.
- These are both cool weather veggies and do well when planted outdoors in the Pacific Northwest (Zone 7-8)

Now that the beans and peas are put to bed for a few weeks, another great cool weather spring time veggie is carrots and lettuce. You can grow lettuce and carrots all summer long and it's best to continuously plant them every two to three weeks so you get a constant supply all summer. I know last year Matthew and I couldn't stop eating the carrots. Nothing is better than the "pop" of pulling a carrot out of the grow. They taste so sweet, it was addicting..
Matthew had the honor of planting..
