Grow

I planted my herbs from seeds in late March.  A lot have done well so far, but they are all still pretty small.  I planted a dozen or so bean plants, but this is the only one that grew at all.  It is growing really well too.  I even broke off one of the leaves while I was trying to put an extension on the climbing skewer. Just like last year, the parsley is growing like a weed...  I think I have lost most of the dill and thyme... not sure about the rosemary...

I put the remaining basil and other herbs in these egg cartons. I found some fungus on the surface of the plants, so I took them all out of the little biodegradable bags that the starter soil came in.  I really hope it helps.

Out in the garden things are slowly blooming too.  The most impressive to me thus far is the asparagus. It is slowly getting bigger and it amazes me.  I felt like I didn't know what to do with it, but it turns out I was doing just what I needed to.

I planted one whole garlic bulb last fall (individual cloves, obviously)... so far only one is growing :(  I guess I will have to get more tips from Greg Millar, whose garlic from a couple seasons ago was amazing!

I am also staring to see little tiny red leafs poking through where I planted beets, so I have only to assume that my beets are doing well too.  Here is hoping that my carrots, lettuces, and potatoes are also brewing under ground.  Hopefully we have seen the last of the frost and I will be able to plant the rest of my gardens soon.
