Garden Journal: March 17, 2009

Well, it's officially gardening season. I'm not sure it would be accurate to say that gardening season really stops for more than a couple of months, considering that we can still be preserving food in November and we starting planning our seed orders in January, but it has really begun now. We've cleaned off most of our garden plots and some of them have been plowed already. The green house is cleaned out and we're getting ready to start seeds. And yes, we've made our seed orders ~ but that's different ;)

We will be growing parsnips and salsify again this year, which we have not for a while. We're also trying eggplant and fennel for sure. Washing pots to plant seeds in is on the agenda this week (I really should try to wash some yet today ~ but houseplants keep showing up in the sink to interfere with that. I suppose it's all in innocence but it seems like a conspiracy to me!).
