The Garden is Growing!

Asparagus pushing up thru the ground.

The main part of garden is plowed up and looking good, ready for planting thanks to our friend Farmer Dave Reed. Yesterday we had a chance to plant sweet potatoes, melons, and squash. Since there isn't a chance of frost anymore, the next thing to do is spend a day planting all the vegetables and cover every inch of ground with straw or leaves before the weeds start growing. Right now it is perfect planting weather and the ground is perfect to plant in too.

Rhubarb ready for picking.

Everything we planted last week is coming up right on schedule. I love to visit the garden to see all the new sprouts! Every time I go to the garden it looks different. The asparagus bed is producing this year but we have to wait one more season before we can sample to goods. Several people picked the rhubarb yesterday. It looks like it's going to be a good year for the garden this year.
