Grow, grow, grow

Here we are at the end of May, 2 months into our adventure as farmers and we are super excited to say it is starting to look like a real garden.  Lately, we have been very busy trellising peas, planting seedlings and weeding, weeding and more weeding.  Our only casualties so far have been one pea plant that was dug up by a rabbit or squirrel and one parsley plant which Aaron picked (and ate!)  

Enjoy the pictures, the next post should be of us eating our first homegrown salad!

  1. I am totally impressed. Everything looks so great. I'm super jealous of the head start you guys get on us being a couple of hours south all of my plants are still so tiny.

  2. Thanks Cogans :) It's funny you say we so far ahead, we are super jealous of everyone around here who started in a hot box, they already have peas and huge heads of lettuce. Oh well, you have to start somewhere! Love you guys
