Greetings!  There are some delicious things growing out of the ground here at my wee farm.  Radishes, peas, and beets have sprouted.  Lettuces, leeks, and green onions have been transplanted.  Four hundred feet of potatoes have been planted.  I've also been working hard at starting tomatoes, peppers, and squash inside.

Here are some pictures - don't worry, I watered immediately after taking these, hehe.  I'm working on figuring out a drip irrigation solution so the plants get a slow, constant supply of water right at their roots.

Radishes - these ones are french breakfast - oval shaped with pink  on top and white on bottom.

The celery seedlings are looking more celery-like.  I love these guys!

Peas!  I love the look of pea plants.

Chioggia beets.

Marvel of four seasons lettuce.  It's a beautiful color, which is not quite captured in this picture.

My lovely neighbor across the street (who I've known my whole life - it's nice to be home)  has gifted me with some bibb lettuce, turnips, and chives.  She mentioned (and I read it somewhere once) that thanking someone for a plant is bad luck to the growing of the plant.  Hopefully blogging about it is okay : )

Hope you're all having a great spring!
