Early Garden

Soon after New Years the gardening catalogs started arriving in the mail and racks of vegetable seeds started to appear in stores. For us in the northeast this is way too early to start gardening ... or is it too early???

Back in January I took a couple of plastic tubs, filled them with potting soil and placed them in a sunny location. In the one tub I scattered beet seeds and in the second tub I scattered two types of lettuce and some spinach.



The beets are now ready to thin out ...



The lettuce and spinach is also ready to thin and we had our first salad from the garden today.
