April showers have brought May flowers…and the vegetables
are following suit. A momentous day
arrives each spring when we can officially “plant the garden”. Leaving our fears of frost behind, we set out
with tools, seeds, and transplants to organize the mulch-covered plot into rows
and blocks. Unlike the cold frame that
has been steamily growing cool-season crops for weeks, the garden has been home
only to the garlic, asparagus, potatoes, brassica transplants, and pea shoots. All that changed on Monday. A handful of the family members bent and
stretched, dug and watered, sweat and ached. But it was worth it!
