Spring has definitely sprung!

I bought this daisy plant for my daughter in the fall. It died off but came back to life! It looks a lot bigger than when I took these photos (on the 11th).  There are 2 buds now.  She is SO EXCITED about it growing too.

Gerbera (?) daisy

I planted two tomatoes in the back bed early (February 26).  They are doing well amongst the onions, shallots, garlic, spinach, and lettuces.  I think I'm going to throw a melon or two back there as well.

Rear bed on March 11th

The small, non-raised bed has squash in the center.

Strawberry flower! 

The luscious front bed is spitting out lots of peas and a never-ending kale right now, and that dang cabbage is finally ready!  I planted it (from seed) way back in September.  I read today that spring planted cabbage is ready faster, but something tells me that I'm too late for that!  These guys take up way too much space anyway.  Make room for eggplant! :)

Oregon sugar snap peas; planted (from seed) in December-ish

We were out of town this past weekend, and are busy the coming weekend, so I made time to plant these guys on the 8th (3 tomatoes, 2 peppers, 2 eggplants, all grown from seed.)

I was very happy to return and find them NOT dead from the 40 degree cold snap we suddenly got (these photos were all taken after.)  However, I am prepared with several plants still living indoors and in the greenhouse. They're all doing great, too!  I may end up having to pawn some plants off on locals. ;)  Free to a good home soil!
