The weeds are all over the empty spaces, and I am learning to use a hoe to dig them up to the roots far faster than my fingers can. Thank goodness for mothers and their sound advice. This week I cleared out space and planted bean sprouts, swiss chard seeds, and carrot seeds... lots of carrot seeds. Jack LOVES carrots. Well, he loves juicing carrots... anyhow, I figured I'd give them a try. If they all come up, great, if only a few do, that's fine as well. I'm going to walk up to the Dutch Gardener today and see about buying some more starts - both of the squashes I bought from him and planted a couple weeks ago have blossomed and are growing little squashes on them now! Hooray!
I think the climate here is particularly suited to growing salads, as the kale and the cabbages are doing better than anything else.
Anyhow, here's some pictures I snapped on my phone this morning (I'd accidentally left my camera at work).

| Arugula and Cilantro blossoms - I've been waiting for the seeds for two months now... |
 |
| Cherry tomato and garlic. |
 |
| Delicata Squash starting to develop! :) |
 |
| Green cabbage - this one has two heads, what luck! |
 |
| One of the four Russian Red Kale plants. |
 |
| Peas! These are really taking off, but not using the trellis as much as I expected. |
 |
| Beautiful red cabbage! |
 |
| From left to right: Roma Tomato, Red Onions, and Black Prince Heirloom Tomato (I don't think that one has grown a bit since I planted it...) |
 |
| Zucchini on the left and Hubbard Squash on the right. Both are starting to develop squashes, too. |
