We're back!

Unseasonably warm weather means early garden excitement! We know that we can't get started on much yet, but some things are already happening!

Garlic!
We planted some garlic bulbs grown by our friends Matt and Erin and 22 of 24 of them are starting to come up!  I'm really looking forward to scapes.

Oats!
We planted some oats as a nurse crop or cover crop, we timed it right so they died off in the cold weather before going to seed leaving a mulch cover and a nutrient source for the soil.

Wild strawberries!
Our wild strawberries survived the winter and hopefully will grow much larger this year.  They were a late addition to the garden last summer and came from my grandmothers garden.

Kale!
Some kale popped back up already too!

Garden!
Our work is cut out for us, this year there will be some changes, some things will stay the same, and as always when dealing with Mother Nature, much will be left to the unknown!
