my humble attempt at starting a victory garden

Today’s Developments April 18, 2009

Filed under: Garden News — Katie @ 6:18 pm

The lettuce is up!  I planted a 5-variety mix, so hopefully there will be lots of different kinds coming up in the next few days.  

Baby lettuces!

For more information on lettuce and all its greatness, please visit the U of I’s extension website.

 

Also planted some purple bush beans today – hopefully they will have some success in the garden – it’s a crapshoot, though, given the lack of full sun in the garden.  But, as my lovely momma always says, “gardening is all about experimentation.”

Purple beans!

We also painted a few of the stepping stones that are going to go in the garden.  I’ll upload pictures of those soon.

That’s it for today!  Yay for spring!
