spring gardening

It's April-- now more over than it was begun, and I hadn't even begun planting anything yet!

Today I went out and bought a crazy crapload of stuff and I spent that much money, too.

• Garden inoculant for me beans and peas
• Broccoli ("Thompson") seeds
• Bush beans ("Renegade") seeds
• Kale ("Improved Dwarf Siberian") seeds
• Swiss chard ("Fordhook Giant") seeds
• Basil ("Sweet Basil") seeds
• Ruby Red Swiss chard seedlings
• Rosemary ("Tuscan Blue") starter
• A salad mesclun mix from Langley
• 4 strawberry plants
• Roma tomato plant
• Zucchini ("Black beauty") starter
  
• 2 window box planters
• 2 plastic planting bowls and dishes
• 2 bags of potting soil
• 1 bag of compost
• A roll of burlap

It's crazy! I have my work cut out for me this week. I planted the salad mix in the planter boxes and I transplanted the chard seedlings, but I am never quite sure if they'll survive or not. Hopefully, or that is a $5 waste.

I still need to weed the plots :/ That's the most time consuming task of all!
